Did You Refuse the Breathalyzer Test?

The police probably tried to scare you into taking the Breathalyzer or blood test to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC) after your arrest. If you refused to take the test they have no concrete evidence to try you for DWI. Keeping your driver’s license becomes your toughest challenge. Even if you submitted to the Breathalyzer test, the results are not foolproof. We have seen many cases where the Breathalyzer results were thrown out because the person administering the test was untrained or the results were contaminated because proper procedure wasn’t followed. We will aggressively attack everything about your case, including probable cause for the traffic stop, Breathalyzer test results and other evidence the prosecutor claims to have against you.

J&G, LLP, is recognized as one of the prominent DWI and criminal defense law firms serving clients in communities throughout Orange, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan counties. From our offices in Walden and Monticello, we are available to represent you in court jurisdictions throughout the region.
