Before diving into the intricacies of breathalyzer tests, it's crucial to have a grasp on your rights. In the United States, while laws vary from state to state, you generally have the right to refuse a breathalyzer test. However, this refusal may come with its own set of repercussions.

Refusing a breathalyzer test can carry significant consequences, including immediate license suspension, fines, and the potential for increased scrutiny in any subsequent legal proceedings. Carlson Law Firm PC is here to help you understand:

  • The immediate and long-term penalties for refusal in your locale
  • Differences in punishment for first-time vs. repeat offenses
  • The implications for your driving record and insurance rates

Considering these factors is critical before making your decision. It's not just about the immediate moment but about your future on the road.
