Driving Under the Influence – Everything You Need to Know

DUI cases are very scary, but seldom hopeless. Police officers can often times make a mess of roadside investigations. Breathalyzers, Intoxilyzers, and blood testing are all susceptible to human error. Medical conditions can result in inaccurately high blood alcohol content (BAC). Quality DWI defense lawyers know how to capitalize on these issues to win cases.

Did You Know?

  • A large number of interfering substances, medical conditions and equipment malfunctions can cause breathalyzers to generate inaccurately high readings.
  • DUI blood testing is susceptible to error. When blood samples are retested at independent laboratories, they can often times yield different results, and sometimes find the original blood sample was contaminated.
  • Police officers are required to follow a standardized set of procedures in DUI roadside investigations.
  • Law Enforcement are required to follow Oregon law which states you are allowed access to a DUI attorney during a DWI interrogation.
  • Police officers are required to follow Oregon law in using a breathalyzer or intoxilyzer during a DUI investigation.
  • An interfering substance, medical condition, equipment malfunction, violation of the law, or violation of standardized procedures may allow you to successfully respond to a drunk-driving allegation.
