Protecting Your Future
You’re not just another case. We take the time to understand your situation, your goals, and what’s at stake — so we can build a defense strategy tailored specifically to you.
A Note on Hardship Licenses
Hardship reinstatement rules are complicated and depend heavily on your specific history. Florida law prohibits hardship reinstatement for anyone convicted of DUI two or more times, which can eliminate options that might otherwise seem available. Where you actually stand depends on the full picture. Do not assume you qualify or do not qualify without speaking to an attorney.
Common Defenses
DUI cases offer more avenues for defense than many people realize. The facts of every arrest are different, and a close examination of how the stop, investigation, and arrest were conducted often reveals issues that can affect the outcome.
The legality of the traffic stop is frequently challenged. Law enforcement must have reasonable suspicion of a traffic violation or criminal activity to initiate a stop. A stop without legal justification can result in suppression of everything that followed.
Field sobriety tests are subjective and vulnerable to challenge. Standardized field sobriety tests require specific administration procedures. Deviations from those procedures, or physical conditions that affect performance, can undermine the reliability of the results.
Breath test accuracy depends on proper equipment maintenance, calibration, and administration. A breath test result that was obtained through a machine that was not properly maintained, or administered by an officer who was not properly trained, may not be reliable.
Rising blood alcohol is a defense where the defendant’s BAC at the time of driving was below 0.08, even if it reached that level by the time of testing.
Medical conditions can explain symptoms that resemble impairment, including certain neurological conditions, medications, and physical limitations that affect balance and coordination.
Talk to a DUI Defense Attorney
A DUI charge is serious, but the outcome is not predetermined. Early intervention by an attorney who understands Florida’s DUI laws, the administrative hearing process, and the defenses available can make a significant difference.

What Happens After a DUI Arrest
The process begins immediately. After booking, a first appearance occurs within 24 hours, where a judge sets bond conditions. The criminal case and the administrative license suspension proceed on separate tracks, and both require attention. Discovery follows, during which your attorney reviews all evidence the State intends to use. Pretrial motions may be filed to suppress evidence or challenge the basis for the stop. Depending on the strength of the evidence, the case resolves through negotiation or proceeds to trial.
