Blood Test
DUI Defense Lawyer in Sacramento
If you have been charged with a DUI after arrest and being required to take blood tests, get in touch with a Sacramento DUI defense attorney at the Tiemann Law Firm to go over the details of your circumstances and charges. Depending on the situation and sequence of events, there are multiple avenues of law which might be activated on your behalf. These avenues may be open to you regardless of whether or not you voluntarily submitted to any field sobriety tests after the law enforcement officer stopped you and prior to arrest.
DUI charges may come about through tests which show a blood alcohol level in the blood of .08% or higher. Blood tests as a method of determining blood alcohol concentration (BAC) are not perfect and can be challenged under certain circumstances. These circumstances vary and require an experienced attorney to review and determine any elements which may help you with defense of your rights.

- The individual administering the blood test was not a qualified analyst. Non-authorized blood drawer.
- Fermentation of the blood can happen in the tube after it was drawn if not preserved correctly and timely.
- Contamination of the blood because of using an alcohol-based swab before injection.
- Wrong blood specimen was analyzed.
- Prosecution failure to provide blood test expert for trial.
