Helping Clients With Any Concerns Related To DUI Breath And Blood Tests
Were you arrested for DUI because of a failed BAC test? When someone fails a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test, they may automatically assume that they cannot fight their DUI conviction. Fortunately for many, this is not true.
Breath and blood tests can render invalid results for a number of different reasons. At Beckham Law Firm, we understand how these tests work and how they can go wrong.
Our Miami DUI lawyers can provide skilled defense to prove that your BAC test results were not valid evidence for your DUI arrest. Contact us today.

Defense Against BAC Evidence In Your DUI Case
A driver can be arrested for DUI if their blood alcohol content (BAC) registers at or above the legal limit of .08%. DUI penalties in the state are extremely heavy, ranging from extensive jail or prison time to expensive fines, depending upon the level of the offense.
The BAC of a driver is measured by breath and blood tests, and most involve the administration of field sobriety tests prior to the arrest. Though some drivers may refuse these tests, the state has implied consent laws that heavily punish a refusal, and will lead to license suspension.
Law enforcement may administer tests for impaired driving after stopping a vehicle on reasonable suspicion of DUI. At our firm, we can build a powerful defense against most DUI charges, based upon poorly conducted tests or police errors in administering tests, faulty or poorly maintained testing units, or physical conditions that could affect BAC results.u.
