Blood Alcohol Testing

DUI Defense Lawyer Serving Richmond

When a person is arrested for DUI, law enforcement will request that he or she take a test to determine his or her blood alcohol concentration (BAC). This is the concentration of blood in a person's system. A blood alcohol test, most often in the form of a breath test, is important because a driver is considered to be DUI if his or her blood alcohol concentration is .08% or greater. The prosecuting attorney will use the results of a breath test to charge a driver with DUI in Richmond.

Although you may have taken a breath test or blood test and may have shown a result that was above the legal limit, this does not necessarily mean that you should be convicted of DUI. In fact, a Richmond DUI defense lawyer may be able to work to challenge the results of your breath test or blood test.
