Know Your Rights
When police make a stop for suspected drunk driving, they may administer a field sobriety test. This test normally consists of the one-leg stand, walk and turn and the horizontal gaze test. They may also ask you to count or recite the alphabet backwards and stand with your feet together and tilt your head backwards. If any of these tests are not conducted in the standardized fashion, they are not valid.
You may be asked to blow into a breathalyzer Breathalyzer unit. This is a small device that measures blood-alcohol concentration (BAC). This test may be done right on the spot or at the detainment center. In Massachusetts, you have the right to refuse both the field sobriety test and the breathalyzer Breathalyzer test. Our lawyers will inspect the details of your stop and defend your rights.

If you fail the breathalyzer Breathalyzer test you lose your license for 30 days. If you refuse to take the test, you lose your license for 180 days. Police may try to use this to convince you to take the test on the spot. You have the right to refuse the test and we will protect that right and keep your refusal from being admitted in court.
If you took the sobriety test and failed, our DUI defense lawyers will dig into the details of the stop and examine every last detail. We will review the latest police training manuals and will analyze the police reports to see if the tests were administered correctly. We will investigate to see if the arresting officer was properly trained. If applicable, we will check our clients' medical records to see if there were medical or physical issues preventing them from doing what was asked of them during the sobriety test.
