Roberta, GA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

If the facts you have related are indeed true, you will need a DUI lawyer to help you with this case. It seems unlikely that a field breath test would measure a trace when your blood alcohol concentration is a .22. If it did measure a trace the officer likely thought you were more impaired than a trace and therefore assumed that drugs were involved, hence the blood test. A DUI lawyer will evaluate the physical evidence and likely have the records for the breath testing equipment produced, a retest of your blood (if it makes sense based on the other evidence) and retain an expert for a professional opinion in order to help determine what evidence makes sense and what doesn't. You should contact a DUI lawyer within 10 days of your arrest, there are important rights which you will lose if you don't.

DUI conviction is punishable by a maximum of 1 year in jail and a $5,000 Fine, plus loss of license for a minimum of 90 days, the requirement for high risk insurance ($150% higher than normal premiums), possible installation of an interlock in your car for a one year period AFTER you become eligible to drive again.

You took the alcosensor, and refused the breathalyzer. So, you are a refusal. As for the blood test was it performed within three hours of the vehicle stop? No, then you cannot use it.
