DUI Attorney in Chicago

Understanding Breath & Blood Tests

If you or a family member has been accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you could be facing very serious penalties. During this confusing and often frightening time, you need a Chicago criminal lawyer that you can trust to be on your side. If you were pulled over by a law enforcement officer because of suspected drunk driving, you were probably given some kind of test. One of the primary tests used is the breath test, or Breathalyzer test. This test is administered by law enforcement and is supposed to measure the alcohol levels of the driver. The other primary test is a blood test. Here the driver's BAC (blood alcohol content or concentration) is measured by a chemical analysis of one's blood.

If your BAC was found to be 0.08% or above, you could be convicted of driving while intoxicated. However, these tests have been found to be less than one hundred percent accurate. Mistakes could have been made in the administration of the test or in the lab work. You can be assured that if there were any such mistakes in your case, our attorneys will find them. An inaccurate test should not be enough to send you to jail.
