It's a tricky situation with significant legal ramifications, and we get that it can be overwhelming. Our mission is to demystify the legal challenges and inform you about your rights. If you've refused a test, knowing your options is crucial, and here's where we step in.

Refusal might seem like a good idea at the moment, especially if you fear the results might not be in your favor. However, this decision carries its own bag of problems. Virtually every state has implied consent laws, which you agree to when you get your driver's license. These laws state that by driving, you consent to submit to sobriety tests if suspected of DUI.

Let's break it down together. If you've said 'no' to a breathalyzer, you've taken a big risk, but all hope is not lost. At Daniel R Gonzalez PC, we're here 24/7 to offer you the guidance you need. Reach out to us at (512) 219-9300 with all your questions or to book an appointment. Our national network of experienced attorneys is ready to defend your case.

Did you know that refusing to take a breathalyzer can lead to an automatic license suspension? That's right, even if you weren't drinking, the act of refusing tests may land you in hot water. It's essential to recognize the potential legal consequences:

- License suspension, sometimes longer than for a DUI conviction- Fines or surcharges that might add up quickly- Mandatory enrollment in alcohol education or treatment programs

You have rights when pulled over for suspected DUI. One critical piece of information is that you do have the right to refuse a breathalyzer. However, due to implied consent laws that vary by state, this refusal can lead to immediate penalties. Here at Daniel R Gonzalez PC, we'll help you navigate these choppy legal waters.

- The right to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination- The right to consult with an attorney once you've been detained- The right to refuse field sobriety tests, although this may lead to similar consequences as breathalyzer refusal

Sometimes, individuals refuse a breathalyzer because they believe it will protect them from a DUI charge. Others might decline due to fear of inaccurate results or a misunderstanding of the law. Understanding the motivations behind refusal is key to building a robust legal defense strategy.

Common reasons for refusal include:- Mistrust in the accuracy of the breathalyzer- Advice from friends or family based on myths- Panic or confusion in the stressful situation of a DUI stop
