DUI Lawyer

Facing a DUI charge in Miami can be frightening. Defending yourself against a DUI charge without a lawyer is a risky decision.

The Serious Consequences of a DUI Conviction

Even a first-time DUI can lead to fines, license suspension, mandatory DUI education programs, community service, and jail time.

A DUI conviction can make finding employment, securing housing, or obtaining professional licenses difficult. Auto insurance rates skyrocket.

Why You Shouldn't Fight a DUI Charge on Your Own

Lack of Legal Knowledge

DUI laws in Florida are complicated and constantly evolving.

Challenging the Evidence

  • Breathalyzer machines may malfunction
  • Blood tests can be contaminated
  • Field sobriety tests can be subjective
  • Officers may not administer tests correctly

Negotiating with Prosecutors

Plea bargains can reduce charges. Prosecutors are skilled negotiators.

Understanding Court Procedures

Multiple court appearances, pre-trial motions, hearings—each requires careful preparation.

Understanding Florida DUI Laws

  • 0.08% BAC limit (0.04% for commercial drivers, 0.02% for under 21)
