Description
As Wisconsin's only two certified DUI defense specialists, attorneys Andrew Mishlove and Lauren Stuckert are deeply familiar with blood alcohol testing and the many circumstances that can lead to a faulty result. In fact, Mr. Mishlove has designed his own course in blood alcohol testing and trial advocacy that he now teaches to other attorneys throughout the country. Our approach in court is science-backed and tenacious.

Hi, I'm Andrew Mishlove
from Mishlove and Stuckert.
00:00:10.175 --> 00:00:12.342
We are Wisconsin's only true specialists
00:00:12.343 --> 00:00:15.367
in defensive accusations
of impaired driving.
00:00:15.517 --> 00:00:18.692
I want to talk for a minute
about science in the courtroom,
00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:20.950
and especially
the science of blood testing.
00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:25.042
I've had the privilege over the years
to direct a course for lawyers
00:00:25.043 --> 00:00:26.900
at the University of Texas Arlington,
00:00:26.925 --> 00:00:29.958
sponsored by the National College
for DUI Defense,
00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:33.142
where we teach lawyers
how blood is tested.
00:00:33.150 --> 00:00:37.633
We actually do our own tests
and run the equipment in the laboratory.
00:00:37.634 --> 00:00:39.242
I'm really proud of this course.
00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:44.617
What I've learned over the years
is that these tests are not infallible.
00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:50.350
The more complicated and sophisticated
the test, the more that can go wrong.
00:00:50.458 --> 00:00:54.475
We have seen many,
many errors in blood testing.
00:00:55.157 --> 00:00:58.225
The unfortunate truth is that
many people, many lawyers,
00:00:58.242 --> 00:01:03.350
and many judges consider
the testing process to be infallible.
00:01:03.617 --> 00:01:04.960
That's just not true.
00:01:05.108 --> 00:01:07.158
There's a lot of mistakes
that can be made.
00:01:07.208 --> 00:01:08.814
We see them all the time.
00:01:08.867 --> 00:01:10.447
In a legal blood draw,
00:01:11.225 --> 00:01:14.570
the person who draws your blood
has to cleanse your arm a certain way
00:01:14.571 --> 00:01:15.975
before they stick the needle in.
00:01:15.992 --> 00:01:17.350
They often do it wrong.
00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:21.800
They don't track the expiration dates
of the equipment they use.
00:01:21.830 --> 00:01:25.600
They don't properly mix
the chemicals together in the vial.
00:01:26.042 --> 00:01:27.413
I could go on from there,
00:01:27.414 --> 00:01:29.650
and we're still not
even into the laboratory.
00:01:30.383 --> 00:01:33.186
If you have a serious drunk driving case
00:01:33.325 --> 00:01:37.400
where you need an expert
in the science of blood testing,
00:01:38.283 --> 00:01:40.033
give us a call.
We're here to help you.
