Field Sobriety & Breath Test Attorney In San Antonio, Texas

Field sobriety tests (FST) are used everywhere to determine whether a driver has violated the law by drinking and driving. However, these tests can be subjective and biased, leading to charges based on incorrect evidence. They can be inconsistent and depend on which police officer administers a test. Studies have shown that even when law enforcement administers a test correctly, almost half the people with a blood alcohol content under the legal limit fail the test.

Evaluating the Administration of Field Sobriety Tests (FST)
At our San Antonio law office, we defend people against DWI charges. In many instances, our defense strategy is based upon issues arising from an FST. We evaluate the administering officer, gathering evidence from witnesses who observed the administration of the test. We depose physicians who can attest to any underlying medical conditions, such as balance problems, or prescription medications that could affect the results of an FST. We find out whether our client had adequate rest or food.
