  DWI & Breathalyzer Test Refusal   

     

When a person is pulled over for drunk driving in Rhode Island, they are typically asked to take a breath test. While that person has the right to refuse to submit to a breathalyzer test, the result of doing so is an automatic driver's license suspension. This becomes an administrative matter that is completely separate from DUI/DWI charges and must be addressed separately.

Email me or call me at 401-861-6600 for a free consultation on the topic of breathalyzer test refusal.

I will put my years of experience as a DWI Lawyer to work defending you if you have refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. While these cases can be challenging, I have the knowledge to handle them and all related DUI/DWI defense matters.

I encourage people to take the breathalyzer test they are offered, as it can be disputed later. In my experience, I have learned that it is not a perfect instrument for measuring intoxication. Many factors can be challenged, including whether the operator was properly trained, whether the machine was calibrated, and whether the data it provided was accurate. As your attorney, I will thoroughly consider problems with breathalyzers to defend your case.

If you refused to submit to a breath test, I can explain your options. In addition to handling the DUI/DWI charge in Rhode Island, I can represent you in the Rhode Island Department of Transportation administrative hearings that follow a breathalyzer test refusal. I am here to stand by your side and fight for you.

To learn more about how I can help you, contact me at 401-861-6600 today for a free evaluation of your breathalyzer test refusal case. I represent clients facing penalties throughout Rhode Island, including Providence County, Kent County & Washington County.
