​Farmington Hills Breath & Blood Test Defense Lawyer

Defending OWI Suspects in Oakland County & Throughout Michigan

​One of the many ways that law enforcement will verify if a driver is indeed operating under the influence of alcohol is by administering a breath or blood test. These are done to check the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of the driver. The state of Michigan requires all drivers to consent to all OWI tests if they’ve been arrested for drunk or drugged driving. A test refusal will often lead to criminal penalties and driving privilege suspension, also known as “Implied Consent Violation.”

If you refuse to take the breath and blood test, the officer must provide you with a temporary permit “paper license” so that you can drive for 14 days while you have the right to file an appeal. This appeal must be made within 14 days of your arrest. It is vital to contact a Farmington Hills blood and breath test attorney immediately after your arrest to help you fight to keep your driver’s license and advise you what steps to take. I, Daniel D. Hajji, Attorney at Law, represent clients who face OWI/DUI charges in Oakland County, and my aggressive investigations help them get their charges reduced or even dismissed.

Are Michigan Breath & Blood Tests Always Accurate?

Although a prosecutor may try to convince the judge or jury that chemical test evidence is definitive proof of intoxication, this is far from true. Breath and blood tests aren’t scientifically reliable. Many factors other than alcohol can affect the results of a breath and blood test. For example, results can be influenced by improper machine maintenance; even mouthwash can throw off the results. Breath tests are especially vulnerable to inaccurate readings, which means drivers can challenge the results.

Test results can also be affected by things like:

• Incorrect administration or calibration
• Certain medical conditions
• Dentures or other dental issues
• Burping
