BAC Testing in Missouri

Competent Kansas City DUI Lawyers

There have been many instances where chemical testing has proven to be inaccurate, leading an innocent person to jail and to deal with the aftermath of a DUI arrest. Our attorneys at Martin & Wallentine are intimately familiar with the various techniques used to test a driver and how inconsistent the results can be.

Defenses can be built on:

• Testing equipment that is not certified
• Unlicensed or inexperienced law enforcement performing the test
• Faulty reading due to a machine not functioning properly
• Testing not carried out correctly

Unreliable results and errors made during testing can be a highly effective strategy to use as part of your DUI defense. The legal team at our firm is committed to scrupulously examining the evidence and facts surrounding your arrest and then proceeding in a way that is best for you.

Were you recently arrested for DUI?

When an individual is pulled over because they are suspected of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, it is likely that law enforcement will request that they submit to field sobriety tests and chemical testing such as a breathalyzer, blood or urine screening to determine their blood alcohol content (BAC). Currently, Kansas utilizes the Intoxilyzer 8000 to measure blood alcohol by testing a persons breath. For a BAC greater than .08%, for those over 21, or higher than .02%, for anyone under the legal drinking age, an arrest will be made.

If you or someone you care about has recently been arrested for DUI based on the results of a breathalyzer, blood or urine test, it is vitally important that you immediately seek the legal representation of a highly qualified Kansas DUI attorney that is well versed and experienced in cases of this nature. There are many defensive strategies that can be employed to help you win your case, but it is very likely that the results will be much more favorable with an attorney on your side that has a proven ability to produce the outcome you need. While blood tests are the most reliable procedure for testing blood alcohol concentration, they can be wrong.
