Can an improperly calibrated breathalyzer affect your DWI case? It can.
In this video, we explain how breathalyzer machines estimate blood alcohol concentration (BAC), why regular calibration and annual inspections are essential, and how problems with the machine's maintenance may impact the accuracy of the results.

If a breathalyzer wasn't properly calibrated or inspected, an experienced DWI attorney may be able to challenge the reliability of the BAC evidence.

Can a DWI charge be dismissed? Yes, but it depends on the facts of your case.

In this video, we explain the difference between a DWI charge being dismissed and being acquitted at trial. A dismissal happens before a judge or jury decides your guilt or innocence and typically occurs when there isn't a legal or factual basis for the case to move forward.

We also discuss the factors that may lead to a dismissal, including the legality of the traffic stop, whether police had probable cause for the arrest, and whether the evidence is admissible in court.
