If you have been arrested for DUI, the clock is ticking from the moment of your arrest

If have been arrested for drunk driving, you need to act quickly to protect your rights. In Florida, the DMV can suspend your license and impose other driving restrictions before you ever step into a courtroom. From the time of your arrest, you only have ten days to appeal the DMV's suspension. We can help you appeal the suspension or we can help you apply for a "hardship license" if the time for an appeal has expired.

Remember that, often times, a DUI is a crime supported only by an officers opinion.  Sure, the government attempts to bolster the officer's opinion thru use of Intoxilizer 5000 or 8000 results, but typically you have been arrested before blowing into the Intoxilizer machine because the officer's opinion is that you are impaired beyond the legal limit.  Sometimes the only way to "test" an officer's opinion is to take the DUI case to trial.  Let the citizens know all the facts, especially regarding opinion testimony regarding results of so called Field Sobriety Exercises.

Of course, once you've blown into an Intoxilizer machine, more issues for your criminal defense need to be answered before these results are admitted into evidence.  For example, was the machine calibrated properly, and working accurately at the time the driver took the breath test?  It is possible that a perfectly sober driver can blow a .15% (or higher) breath test, but how?  Too many reasons to list here, but whenever an Intoxilizer machine is presented as evidence, this machine works by analyzing very small, microscopic amounts of alcohol, thus every aspect of the machine and breath sample must be done with high precision, as it takes only a small variance in the machine or sample to cause a huge variance in results.
