Blood Alcohol Testing in Florida

If you have been pulled over by a law enforcement officer in Hillsborough County, Florida for a suspected DUI (driving under the influence) the officer may ask you to submit to a blood test. A blood test will determine whether or not you have drugs or alcohol in your system, and the levels. A blood test will determine your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) by determining the level of alcohol in your blood. If your BAC is 0.08% or greater, you are automatically determined to be driving under the influence in the state of Florida.

A blood test is usually fairly accurate and may be difficult to contest in a court of law. However, an attorney who is knowledgeable in defending DUI cases will know what to do. An experienced lawyer can argue that blood tests can be inaccurate, sometimes due to contaminated medical equipment, an error in taking the sample, or improper storage or transportation of the blood. The lawyers at Thomas & Paulk have handled many of these types of DUI cases and have found success in contesting blood alcohol test results.

Many factors are taken into consideration when devising a client's DUI defense. At Thomas & Paulk our lawyers will investigate your DUI case thoroughly and will determine whether or not your DUI defense case is being handled properly by law enforcement.
