What Are My Rights? Refusal of Breathalyzer Test
If you were pulled over and suspected of driving under the influence, you may have been asked to give a breath test. While you do have the right to refuse a breath test, that refusal could also impact your case if you are still convicted. At Heather J. Darling, Esq., L.L.C., in Roxbury, New Jersey, we are experienced in the investigation and defense of individuals charged with DWI/DUI. We know how to effectively challenge Breathalyzer evidence and to minimize penalties for individuals who refused to submit a breath test.
Heather Darling is experienced in breath test refusal cases and those involving:
- DUI checkpoints
- Breathalyzer tests
- Field sobriety tests
Breathalyzer Refusal
If you refused a Breathalyzer, you probably also signed a form that you have an automatic loss in your case. Whether you signed the form or not, it is important to have an experienced attorney review the evidence on your behalf. We will examine the police report and the blood alcohol level reported in your case. We will also challenge the probable cause of the stop and the determination that you were over the limit.
Know Your Options and Your Rights
Most drivers do not know the legal ramifications for refusing a test or how action taken at the time of arrest can impact their case. You should contact an attorney as soon as possible so that you have a clear understanding of your rights, options and obligations throughout the criminal process. We have extensive experience, resources and dedication to best protect your interests.
