The results of field sobriety tests, blood tests and breath tests are often key evidence in the prosecution's case. Field sobriety tests are extremely subjective, and blood and breath tests are often conduct by unqualified personnel or improperly administered. Sometimes the equipment used to conduct the tests is poorly maintained or incorrectly calibrated. When mistakes or errors occur in testing, it is often possible to suppress the findings. Without testing evidence, the charges against you can be reduced or the case dismissed. The firm will make sure your test results are analyzed, and take other measures to strengthen your defense. They also represent clients at DMV hearings, and will fight to prevent the loss of your driving privileges.
