Blood and Breath Tests
Orlando DUI Lawyers
Facing a failed breath test or blood test? Are you accused of refusing chemical testing to determine your blood alcohol level after an Orlando DUI arrest? A lawyer experienced with these matters may be able to effectively defend your rights and help you avoid a conviction, license suspension or possibly criminal charges altogether. Valid defenses to failed or refused blood and breath tests do exist. It is a matter of evaluating your case and conducting a thorough investigation into all aspects of the testing that you were subjected to in order to determine exactly how to defend your rights.
At Katz & Phillips, P.A. we are uniquely qualified to represent clients in these circumstances. As the Seminole County State Attorney’s Office lead DUI/Intoxilyzer attorney, Partner David Katz participated on the frontlines of this controversial issue. Mr. Katz received special training to handle Intoxilyzer hearings and had access to CMI, Inc. the company that designed and built the Intoxilyzer 8000 (the breath test machine used in Florida). No other defense attorney in the area has had the benefit of this specialized knowledge.
In challenging breath and blood tests in conjunction with your Orlando, Florida DUI charges, your lawyer can evaluate particular factors to determine how to best represent your interests. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is responsible for overseeing breath testing throughout the state, as well as enforcing rules that ensure that breath tests are valid and can be used as evidence against defendants in court. Our firm thoroughly understands these rules and how to challenge the procedure by which your breath test or blood test was administered. For example:
- Was the person who administered the breath test properly qualified?
- Was the breath test machine properly registered and maintained?
- Was the correct procedure used to collect your breath or blood sample?
- Was the breath test or blood test performed with complete accuracy and per standard procedures?
