Tennessee DUI Defense Attorneys
Road sobriety tests, Breathalyzers or blood tests are used to determine whether your blood-alcohol content was over the legal limit of .08 when you decided to get behind the wheel. Test results can be used to convict you of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol. However, the procedures for administering these tests must be strictly followed; if they are not, you may be able to beat the DUI charge against you.
At the Law Offices of Howard Kendrick & Reynolds, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, we represent those who have been charged with DUI/DWI throughout Middle Tennessee. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor passing through, we offer experienced representation, diligent investigation and aggressive defense to help you protect your rights and driver's license.
Thorough Investigation of Test Results
Which tests you will be required to take depends on the location of your arrest. For example, in Rutherford County where our firm is located, you will be subject to a blood test. Other counties such as Bedford County or Cannon County require the Breathalyzer. Williamson County offers both tests.
We have familiarity with the systems used in these and other counties throughout Middle Tennessee, and use our experience to help you determine the validity of your results. If you took a Breathalyzer, for example:
- Was the machine calibrated correctly by an expert or scientist as required by law?
- Were you observed for at least 20 minutes before and after the test?
If you took a blood test, we will investigate to ensure your specimen was accurately taken and followed the proper chain of custody. We can also view video surveillance footage from police cars to confirm that any field sobriety tests were demonstrated correctly by the police officer.
Should we encounter any violations in procedure or police errors, we may be able to have incriminating evidence suppressed and your charges reduced or dismissed. We understand the serious impact a DUI conviction can have on your life. We work diligently to negotiate favorable results that minimize the consequences you face.
