Helping Clients With Any Concerns Related To DUI Breath And Blood Tests
Were you arrested for DUI because of a failed BAC test? When someone fails a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test, they may automatically assume that they cannot fight their DUI conviction. Fortunately for many, this is not true.
Breath and blood tests can render invalid results for a number of different reasons. At Beckham Solis, Attorneys at Law, we understand how these tests work and how they can go wrong.
Our Miami DUI lawyers can provide skilled defense to prove that your BAC test results were not valid evidence for your DUI arrest. Contact us today.

The State DISMISSED the DUIAt 3:12 AM, Police observed the Defendant accelerate through a stop sign and across an intersection. Upon stopping the Defendant’s vehicle, Police smelled a strong odor of alcohol emitting from the vehicle and asked the Defendant to step out. The Defendant had a flushed face and bloodshot eyes and agreed to perform roadside exercises. After failing to perform the exercises to standard, the Defendant was arrested and refused to blow into the breath machine to determine his blood alcohol level.

The State DROPPED the DUIAt 4:05 am, the Defendant was observed by an officer traveling eastbound on a westbound lane. The officer conducted a traffic stop and noticed the Defendant had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath, slurred speech, and bloodshot eyes. The Defendant agreed to attempt the field sobriety tests but was not able to perform these exercises to standard. The Defendant was later found to have over 90 pills in his pocket without any prescription labels. The Defendant was arrested and taken to the station, where he refused to provide any breath samples.

The State DROPPED the DUIAt 2:45 am, an officer observed the Defendant driving 17 miles over the speed limit. The Defendant was also swerving and failing to maintain a single lane, nearly hitting a concrete raised median. The officer issued a traffic stop and made contact with the Defendant, who seemed to have a long, blank stare, confused look, flushed face, and bloodshot, watery eyes. The Defendant also had slurred speech and a strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage was coming from her breath and person. The officer asked the Defendant if she had been drinking and the Defendant said no at first. The Defendant agreed to perform the field sobriety exercises, but displayed impairment problems and did not perform to standards. The Defendant was arrested and blew .188/.192 into the breathalyzer.

The State DROPPED the DUIAt 11:55 pm, an officer observed the Defendant come to a complete stop in his westbound lane without reason as there were no stop signs, signals, or pedestrians. The Defendant stayed stopped for a moment and then continued on. The vehicle that was behind the Defendant’s vehicle flagged down the officer and told him that the Defendant had been weaving all over the road and that he was scared the Defendant would crash. The officer began to pursue the Defendant and at the green light, the Defendant made a wide left turn and entered the right lane without using his turn signals. The Defendant almost hit the cars parked on the street and violently jerked his vehicle twice. The Defendant almost struck a curb and had to abruptly swerve into the correct lane. The officer finally turned on his emergency lights to signal the Defendant to stop. The Defendant, however, only slowed down and continued driving until the officer got on his p.a. system to tell him to stop. When the Defendant finally stopped and the officer approached him, the officer noticed the Defendant had bloodshot red eyes, and a noticeable odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. The Defendant told the officer that he had a firearm in his center console. The officer asked the Defendant to step out of the vehicle, and as he did so, the Defendant lost his balance getting out of the car. The Defendant spoke with a slurred speech and did not go where he was directed, even after multiple attempts of telling him where to go, the Defendant only seemed confused. The Defendant was offered to complete the standardized field sobriety exercises which he did not perform to standards, leading to his arrest. The Defendant further refused to blow into the breathalyzer.

Defense Against BAC Evidence In Your DUI Case
A driver can be arrested for DUI if their blood alcohol content (BAC) registers at or above the legal limit of .08%. DUI penalties in the state are extremely heavy, ranging from extensive jail or prison time to expensive fines, depending upon the level of the offense.
The BAC of a driver is measured by breath and blood tests, and most involve the administration of field sobriety tests prior to the arrest. Though some drivers may refuse these tests, the state has implied consent laws that heavily punish a refusal, and will lead to license suspension.
Law enforcement may administer tests for impaired driving after stopping a vehicle on reasonable suspicion of DUI. At our firm, we can build a powerful defense against most DUI charges, based upon poorly conducted tests or police errors in administering tests, faulty or poorly maintained testing units, or physical conditions that could affect BAC results.
