DUI attorney David Katz is a former prosecutor and a former DUI/Intoxilyzer Specialist who has received particular training on the Intoxilyzer 8000, the breathalyzer machine used in Florida. During his specialized training to handle Intoxilyzer hearings in County and Circuit courts, Mr. Katz had access to CMI, Inc., the company that designed and built the Intoxilyzer 8000. No other defense lawyer in the area has had this special advantage.

Was there a physical condition or ailment that could have led to a false reading?

These are just a few of the factors to look into. By consulting a breath test lawyer at our firm, you can learn more about your rights and options in regards to your particular Sanford DUI charges.
