Atlanta DUI Attorney

Refused or failed a DUI blood test?

In Georgia, a person is guilty of driving under the influence if his or her blood alcohol content is higher than the legal limit, in most cases .08%. After administering field sobriety tests, the person may be asked to submit to a chemical BAC test, such as a blood test. If this has happened to you and you refused a blood test or the test showed a BAC over the legal limit, you need an Atlanta DUI lawyer at Ross & Pines, LLC to advise you without delay. Our attorneys have a combined experience of over 50 years and understand what you are going through. They will vigorously ensure that your rights are protected.

Refusing a blood test is grounds to suspend a person's driver's license from one to five years, and the suspension goes into effect just 10 days after an arrest. If you have refused a blood test, it is imperative that you contact our firm immediately so that we can formally request a hearing to save your driving privileges. At this stressful time, let us take over and aggressively work to lessen the effect of your blood test refusal.

Blood Alcohol Testing

Submitting to a blood alcohol test puts a person suspected of DUI at a great risk of conviction. Since blood testing is more accurate than urine or breathalyzer tests, the results are difficult to challenge. If you have submitted to a blood test and are over the limit, you may be thinking there is little hope for getting your DUI charges handled. Errors can still occur in blood testing, however, and we will seek to dispute the test results and have the charges against you dismissed or reduced. We can challenge a blood alcohol test for these reasons:

The test was not administered by a qualified, trained individual
The test was administered improperly
The blood sample was mishandled or tainted
The blood kit was expired
There was a break in the chain of custody of the sample
