DUI Defense
A DUI charge in Florida carries consequences that begin before you ever see a courtroom. Our team includes a former prosecutor and a former public defender, with more than 50 DUI jury trials between them and numerous acquittals.
How we defend DUI cases
Every DUI case turns on details: the reason for the stop, how field sobriety exercises were administered, whether the breath-test instrument was properly maintained and calibrated, and whether your rights were honored at each step. We obtain the video, the maintenance logs, and the officer's training records, and we challenge what does not hold up.
