I agree with Mr. Hess. A reading this high will result in more severe penalties. An attorney should be able to bring out any mitigating circumstances and also confirm that the reading is accurate.
There may be some legal defenses that could be raised and you may have an option to plead to a lesser charge. In any event, this is a very serious matter and an attorney should be able to provide a substantial benefit.
Feel free to call if you would like to discuss this in more detail. No charge or obligation for a confidential telephone call.
Good Luck!

Absolutely! That is a very high BAC which could increase penalties. She should consider an alcohol assessment for court purposes prior to her court date.
