A DUI breath test is the primary method law enforcement uses to measure your blood alcohol content (BAC) if you are suspected of a DUI in Georgia. This page will provide essential information about DUI breath testing in Georgia and explain how we challenge the accuracy and validity of breath test results in your case. There are numerous defenses that may apply to breath test results, and we will evaluate each to determine the best approach for your defense.
One critical fact to know is that if you are being investigated for a DUI in Georgia, you are not required to take the Portable Breath Test (PBT) at the roadside. The PBT is a handheld device that an officer may ask you to blow into. Learn more about the PBT and how to respond if asked for a sample by visiting our Portable Breath Test page.
For information about the Evidential Breath Test, which is typically conducted at the station, and to understand your rights and responsibilities if asked to provide a breath sample, refer to our Evidential Breath Test page.
It’s important to recognize that various factors, such as dentures, acid reflux, and other naturally occurring or external influences, can lead to inaccurate BAC readings. Even if you do not have any specific medical conditions, many potential issues can cause false results. Visit our Blood Alcohol Test Defenses page to learn about the strategies we use to challenge breath, blood, and urine test results.
