DUI Breath Testing

We Challenge Breath Test Results

The DUI defense law firm of Hersch & Talisman, P.A., has taken a leading role in working to change DUI breathalyzer laws that prosecutors use to convict people. Currently, Florida uses a machine called the Intoxilyzer 8000, manufactured by CMI, Inc. It is a mobile breath testing unit that relies on infrared spectrometry to provide evidence of intoxication. CMI's marketing materials claim that their machine takes sobriety testing to a new level of accuracy and reliability. In fact it leaves too many questions unanswered. Too often the software and source code information used to program the Intoxilyzer 8000 is not made available to DUI defense lawyers. We fight back with an aggressive challenge that levels out the playing field for an aggressive DUI defense.
