Could Something Have Thrown Off the Test Results?

Most DWI cases are based on breath test results. However, if you went to the emergency room, or if you have asthma, the police may have taken a blood or urine sample instead.

You might think that a blood alcohol test, because it is based on a blood sample, is the most reliable measure of blood alcohol content ( BAC). However, there are substances — known as interferents — that can be misread as ethanol (pure alcohol) by blood testing devices.

Urine tests can likewise be affected by interferents and other sources of testing error. The lawyers at our firm have studied New York's blood and urine testing methods, and they work with qualified professionals to evaluate the evidence in our clients' DWI lawyers in New York cases.

Did the Sample Definitely Come From You?

The prosecutors may have blood or urine samples in their possession with a high blood alcohol content, but how can they prove that these samples came from you? Typically, blood and urine samples change hands many times between the police and the labs that analyze them.

We will make sure the district attorney is held accountable for proving that the samples were taken from you and that there were sound procedures to ensure that your samples were not mixed up with someone else's. Contact us to discuss your case with an experienced DWI attorney.
