The testing that results in the individual who has been arrested and charged with a DUI is often flawed and may have been incorrectly administered by law enforcement.  This is true of both field sobriety tests and the breathalyzer test.  The units used in the breath test have a strict maintenance schedule, as well as a requirement to be correctly calibrated.  Even if all of these actions have been done, there are some units that have a history of incorrect readings, and you may have been tested by a faulty breathalyzer unit that registered above the legal limit.  There is also the question of what law enforcement used as "probable cause" to suspect you of drunk driving.  All of these factors must be fully reviewed in order to determine how to move forward with your defense, and to strike hard.
