Sanchez Vaughn, Trial Lawyers

 

DUI Defense

Traffic stops, sobriety testing, breath or blood evidence, and license hearings.

STATE CRIMINAL DEFENSE

A criminal charge in Florida can put your freedom, your record, and your future in immediate jeopardy. The right response is not panic — it is preparation.

DUI Defense

A DUI reaches your license, your insurance, and your record. We examine the basis for the stop, the field sobriety testing, and the breath or blood evidence — and we move quickly to protect your driving privileges. Administrative license deadlines run fast after an arrest, so early action matters.
  • Probable cause and stop challenges
  • Field sobriety and breath-test reliability issues
  • Administrative license (DHSMV) hearing deadlines
  • First-offense through felony DUI

How We Approach DUI Cases

A DUI defense should address both the criminal charge and the separate license consequences. We move quickly to preserve evidence and evaluate every stage of the encounter.
  • Secure video, dispatch records, reports, and breath-testing documentation.
  • Examine the basis for the stop, detention, arrest, and requested testing.
  • Evaluate field exercises and breath, blood, or urine evidence in context.
  • Track DHSMV deadlines while preparing motions, negotiations, and trial strategy.
