Challenging The Results Of The Sobriety Test

Request a Free Consultation

So you were charged with a DUI in Springfield or elsewhere in Illinois. What do you do now? Chances are you were stopped for speeding, driving recklessly or for failing to stop at a stop sign. If the police suspected the presence of alcohol on your breath, the police then asked you to take a field sobriety test or submit to chemical testing of your breath, blood or urine. Based on the results, the police made the arrest.

But are the results of the chemical test or field sobriety test really valid? What if the police didn’t actually have probable cause? What happens if you were on medication that compromised the test results?

These are all valid questions that our team at Holley, Rosen & Beard, LLC, can help you address. With more than 50 years of experience handling a wide variety of cases, including DUI charges, we know what to look for when carrying out investigations, building a defense and ultimately, protecting your rights.

Some Things To Consider When Contesting The Results Of Your Sobriety Test

People make mistakes, and the police are people. Maybe the arresting officer administered the test improperly, wasn’t properly trained on how to use a breath test device, or mishandled the test results. There are numerous opportunities for something to go wrong, and it’s our job as your attorneys to hold the authorities accountable when they make mistakes.

If we find that the officers didn’t notify you of your rights or the results of the tests were compromised, we can push for a dismissal or at the very least have the evidence thrown out.
