DUI Defense
DUI Defense
A DUI arrest puts your license, your job, and your record on the line, and the clock starts running the day you are arrested. We move quickly to protect all three.
Your License Deadline Is Days, Not Months
In Florida you have a short window after a DUI arrest to challenge the administrative suspension of your driver license. Missing it can cost you the ability to drive to work long before your criminal case is resolved. Calling early gives us time to file and preserve that option.
We Attack the Evidence
A DUI case is built from a traffic stop, an officer's observations, field sobriety exercises, and a breath or blood result. Each of those has rules behind it. We review whether the stop was lawful, whether the exercises were administered correctly, and whether the breath instrument was properly maintained and operated.
Protecting What Comes Next
A DUI conviction in Florida cannot be sealed or expunged, so the goal is always the outcome that keeps your record as clean as the facts allow. Where appropriate we pursue reductions, diversion programs, and alternatives to jail while keeping you informed at every step.

Common Questions
What are your fees?
DUI matters are not handled on a contingency fee. You receive a clear, written fee quote based on your charge and circumstances during your free consultation.
I refused the breath test. Am I better or worse off?
Refusal carries its own license consequences but removes a number from the state's case. The right strategy depends on the full picture, which we review with you at no cost.
Will I lose my license right away?
Not necessarily. There are steps that can preserve driving privileges if taken promptly after arrest, which is why timing matters so much.
Is a first DUI a big deal?
Yes. Florida treats even a first offense seriously, with fines, probation, vehicle impound, ignition interlock, and a permanent record that cannot be erased.
Do I have to go to court?
In many instances your attorney can appear for routine hearings. We will tell you exactly which dates require you.
