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.
