Does Your DWI Lawyer have an Alcotest 7110 Certification – It Could Make or Break Your Case.

Approximately Only 50 NJ DWI Lawyers Are Certified to Operate the Alcotest 7110 — And Yes, Its a Big Deal.

Facing a DWI charge in New Jersey is serious – but when the outcome hinges on a breath test, the qualifications of your attorney matter more than most people realize. The Alcotest 7110, the machine used across the state to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC), often makes or breaks the prosecution’s case. Yet very few defense lawyers truly understand how it works. In fact, approximately only 50 attorneys in all of New Jersey are certified by the State as both Operators and Administrators of the Alcotest 7110. If your lawyer isn’t one of them, you could be missing the best chance to challenge the evidence against you—and that could make or break your case.

What Is the Alcotest 7110?

The Alcotest 7110 MKIII-C is the breath-testing device used by nearly every law enforcement agency in New Jersey. It analyzes your breath using infrared and electrochemical sensors to determine your BAC. If that number is 0.08% or higher, you’re at risk of being charged with DWI, even if your driving didn’t appear impaired.

While the machine sounds scientific, it’s far from perfect. The accuracy of the Alcotest 7110 can be affected by:

  • Calibration errors

  • Operator mistakes

  • Environmental factors

  • Medical conditions (like acid reflux or asthma)

  • Software glitches

Most defense attorneys accept the results at face value. But a certified Alcotest expert can spot inconsistencies and challenge them in court.

Why Certification Matters in Your Defense

Being State Certified as an Operator and Administrator means your attorney has completed the exact same training as the officers who run these machines—and more.

That certification allows your lawyer to:

  • Understand the internal workings of the machine

  • Spot mistakes officers make during testing

  • Identify improper setup or calibration

  • Know which maintenance records are required by law

  • Explain to a judge or jury why the machine may be wrong

Very few lawyers have this knowledge—and even fewer are trained to interpret and challenge the technical documentation that comes with each DWI arrest.

Only a Handful of Attorneys in NJ Have This Edge

As of now, approximately only 50 attorneys in the entire state are certified in both the operation and administration of the Alcotest 7110.

This isn’t something a lawyer can pick up from books or legal seminars. It’s hands-on technical training that allows a defense attorney to go toe-to-toe with police officers and state experts who rely heavily on Alcotest results to support their DWI cases.

Common Alcotest 7110 Problems a Certified Attorney Can Spot

A lawyer trained in this system can challenge issues like:

1. Improper Calibration

The machine must be calibrated regularly. Missing or inaccurate calibration logs can render the results inadmissible.

2. Operator Error

Officers are required to observe you for 20 minutes before administering the test. Skipping this step can introduce false results.

3. Medical Interference

Conditions like GERD or diabetes can cause high readings. A certified lawyer can bring in medical context to dispute the accuracy.

4. Environmental Factors

Cell phones, temperature changes, or interference from nearby equipment can skew results.

These issues are complex and technical—but if ignored, they can lead to wrongful convictions or unnecessarily harsh penalties.

This Certification Isn’t Just a Title—It’s a Strategy

Most attorneys can argue points of law. But when your future is being decided based on the reading from a machine, your lawyer needs to understand exactly how that machine works—and when it doesn’t.

A State Certified Alcotest 7110 attorney brings a rare skill set to your defense:

  • Technical expertise + courtroom strategy

  • Knowledge of how police are supposed to use the device

  • Ability to explain to judges and juries why results may not be reliable

This is a critical advantage, especially in counties like Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester, where prosecutors often build their case almost entirely around Alcotest readings.
