Southwest Florida DUI/DWI Defense Team
Driving under the influence by far is the criminal charge that most affects everyday ordinary people. It is also an accusation that can result in the loss of your driver’s license without a conviction.
Florida is an “implied consent” State and if you refuse an officer’s request that you blow into an Intoxilyzer, you can lose your license for up to eighteen months.
If you have been arrested for DUI/DWI act now, contact us. You may only have ten (10) days to request an administrative hearing or forfeit your driving privileges. The administrative hearing is separate and apart from your criminal case and can have dire consequences affecting your employment, your insurance rates and your future.
Your “stop” may be the result of a routine check-point or some minor traffic infraction. Typically, the arrest is based simply on the officer’s opinion that you did not perform to his satisfaction on a series of so-called voluntary roadside sobriety exercises. Breathalyzer machines and Intoxilyzers are not infallible. Machines and police operators do make mistakes. A single officer’s biased opinion may have been enough for an arrest, but often is insufficient for a conviction in Court.
Our veteran trial attorneys are experienced in not only effective cross-examination, but legal technicalities as well. If this is your first DUI, you need to thoroughly explore all options before resolving your case.
If this is not your first DUI, you may be facing mandatory jail or a loss of your license for five to ten years and sometimes life.
