DWI Attorney Defending Charges in Walker County
Breath and Blood Test Defense Lawyer for Walker County, Texas
Were you arrested for DWI? Did you fail or refuse a breath test or blood test? Regardless of your specific situation, DWI lawyer Douglas W. Atkinson can help.
When arrested for DWI in Walker County, Texas, a driver will be asked to perform a breath test or blood test to determine his/her blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Refusing this test will result in automatic penalties, including driver’s license suspension – regardless of whether you were actually intoxicated. The driver will usually be given a choice between a blood test and a breath test; a urine test will only be performed in specific and limited circumstances.
While a blood test is more accurate than a breath test, both forms of chemical tests have their faults and may be subject to an error on the part of the person who administers the test, who tests its results, or in the breath test machine itself.
Breath Tests and Blood Tests in Walker County
Throughout all of Walker County, Texas, including Dodge, Huntsville, New Waverly and Riverside, DWI defense attorney Doug Atkinson offers aggressive criminal defense representation to those drivers who have been arrested for drunk driving in conjunction with a failed or refused breath test or blood test.
While a chemical test result showing a high blood alcohol concentration may seem irrefutable, this is certainly not the case – especially when a defendant has a skilled DWI lawyer such as Doug Atkinson on his/her side. A blood test must be administered by a qualified individual, and this test must be performed properly, including how the sample itself is treated. A breath test must be administered following specific protocol as well, and the breath test machine must be properly calibrated in order for the test results to be admissible. An experienced DWI defense attorney will know what to look for in errors or faults in a breath test or blood test in order to help prove that a client did not have a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit.
