Home/Parker Criminal Defense Lawyer/Can Roadside Tests, Breath Tests, and Blood Tests Be Challenged in Colorado?

Challenging Colorado DUI Tests

If you have been arrested for DUI in Colorado, you should know that the state’s laws are very strict when it comes to driving under the influence. The state’s legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.05 percent, and it is illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher. If you are arrested for DUI, you may be required to submit to a chemical test. These tests can include a blood, breath, or urine test. However, these tests can be challenged, and there are several reasons why.

In order to challenge a DUI test, you will need to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney. An attorney can help you understand your options, including the possibility of getting your DUI test results suppressed. In other words, this means that the results of the test could not be used against you in a court of law. This is because the test was not done properly, or there was some other reason why the test results cannot be trusted. If you have been arrested for DUI, you should contact a DUI attorney as soon as possible. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation.

“I would highly recommend James to anyone going through legal troubles.”

I reached out to James Ahern at Fuller & Ahern, P.C. for legal trouble I was involved in. I was inexperienced and needing direction. Once James became involved, he guided me through the legal proceedings and gave me advice and possible outcomes throughout us working together. James was a true professional while keeping a personal touch. I would highly recommend James to anyone going through legal troubles.

“Definitely a genuine cut above the rest!I am forever grateful!”

I was facing a very grim outcome with my DUI case. I had a horrible Lawyer. James took over my case. He learned my case inside and out and fought for me the entire way. He was always available for questions, he listened to me, and encouraged me when I needed encouraging. He is sharp, knowledgeable, prepared, and does not miss a beat. Right before trial, we caught a break, that James turned into a dismissal. James is over and above a 5 star rating.. Definitely a genuine cut above the rest!I am forever grateful!
