Sample Template For The Withdrawal Of Consent in a Georgia DUI Blood Test Case

By Ben Sessions on February 1st, 2018 in DUI / DWI

The best DUI lawyers are always looking for new and innovative ways to challenge the State’s evidence. A large part of DUI defense involves working to exclude parts of the State’s case and, in particular, their ability to use the results of a blood, breath, or urine test against our clients. This is a template letter for the withdrawal of consent to testing of blood samples in a Georgia DUI blood test case. In a subsequent post, I will provide a motion to submit to the court in support of this motion:
