Breath Tests & Blood Tests

Are breath and blood tests always correct?

While breath and blood tests are commonly believed to provide inconclusive evidence, this is not in fact the case.  Both tests are subject to erroneous results for a variety of reasons.  So even if your apparently failed these tests, don't give up hope.  Contact my office right away and we ensure the evidence against you is reviewed as to its validity.  If these factors are not investigated in your case, it opens the door injustices that can have a very negative effect on your life.

A breath test depends for its accuracy on being correctly calibrated and properly administered.  If the equipment is malfunctioning it may give a false reading.  Blood tests have similar potentials for error.  If a blood sample is mishandled its integrity can be compromised.  It must also be confirmed to include the correct ratio of certain ingredients of the blood, otherwise it can give misleading results.  This is not always done and other human error can cause inaccurate results.  For these reasons, an independent laboratory should always be used to check the initial findings.
