In many DUI cases, expert witnesses play a crucial role in defending the accused. Expert testimony can provide critical insight into the scientific evidence presented by the prosecution, which often includes blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests, breathalyzer results, and field sobriety tests. Toxicologistsand other forensic experts can challenge the accuracy of these tests and explain how various factors—such as improper administration, equipment malfunction, or medical conditions—could have led to incorrect results. 
For example, a toxicology expert may testify that the defendant’s BAC level could have been elevated due to recent alcohol consumption, even though they were below the legal limit while driving. Similarly, a breathalyzer expert can analyze the maintenance and calibration history of the device used during the arrest, questioning whether it was functioning properly at the time of testing. In many cases, expert testimony can weaken the prosecution’s case, leading to reduced charges or even dismissal of the case.
At The McShane Firm, we regularly collaborate with expert witnesses to provide a scientifically sound defense. Our team understands the complex science behind DUI testing, and we know how to effectively use expert testimony to challenge flawed evidence. This scientific approach has helped us successfully defend clients in even the most difficult DUI cases. Expert witnesses are essential for proving that errors or inaccuracies occurred during testing, which can drastically improve your chances of a favorable outcome in court.
