At Doyen Sebesta & Poelma Lllp, we inform clients about their rights and the potential legal challenges that can arise from refusal.

Refusing a breathalyzer test isn't just a straightforward 'no'. It has legal ramifications that could impact your driving privileges and lead to other penalties.

Understanding your rights during a traffic stop can be a useful shield in a confrontation with the law. Every driver should be well-informed about their legal rights and the intricacies of implied consent laws. These laws indicate that by using the roads, you've implicitly agreed to submit to breathalyzer tests if suspected of driving under the influence (DUI).

Although refusing a breathalyzer can be part of your rights, the decision carries weighty consequences. In many states, the refusal can be used against you in court, possibly leading to harsher sentencing should your case proceed to trial. It's essential to weigh the option of refusal against its potential legal repercussions.

This is where the pavement of choices leads to different legal paths. Refusing a breathalyzer can result in immediate penalties, separate and apart from any DUI charges you may face. Many drivers are surprised by the swift administrative measures that can be taken against them.

From the loss of driving privileges to fines and mandatory education or treatment programs, the consequences can be severe. By refusing the test, you might also be subjecting yourself to a mandatory arrest and an automatic license suspension, which in most cases, occurs before any court appearance.

Facing the wind of legal adversity requires a solid and well-defined strategy. The complexity of laws around breathalyzer refusal means having a knowledgeable defense is not just an option-it's a necessity. Each case is unique, and a tailored approach to the defense is a key component of our service.

Our network of attorneys can assess the events leading up to and during the traffic stop, ensuring all procedures were properly followed. Questioning the validity of the traffic stop itself, or the manner in which the breathalyzer was requested can form part of an effective defense. Arguments about the reliability of the breathalyzer device, or even medical conditions that you have, may affect the outcome.
