DUI & DRUG CHARGES

DUI Defense Lawyer

Due to the unique and complex nature of Florida DUI (Driving Under the Influence) laws, navigating them requires expertise. Seeking the guidance of an experienced Florida DUI attorney, such as those at Apfelbaum Law, early on is critical for obtaining a favorable outcome. 

Enforcement involves various tools, like breathalyzers, roadside tests, and video evidence. However, errors in administering tests or calibrating equipment might occur, possibly invalidating the evidence. An attorney can review the arrest for procedural flaws, which could result in the dismissal of the case.

In Florida, proving DUI in court is based on blood alcohol levels or impairment. Cases involving no detectable blood alcohol may rely on law enforcement officials’ testimony concerning the impact of impairments on faculties such as decision-making or motor skills.

Multiple offenses may result in significantly higher penalties, with second offenses involving jail time, license suspension, and fines. Third and subsequent convictions may lead to tougher consequences, such as longer prison sentences and lifetime license suspensions for a fourth crime.

Effective defenses against DUI charges may include questioning the legitimacy of traffic stops or arrests, violations of Miranda rights, and violations of the speedy trial requirement. An experienced attorney will customize the defense strategy to the circumstances of the arrest.

To obtain the best outcome, the complex structure of Florida DUI regulations requires an organized strategy along with an understanding of all possible defenses. Consulting a qualified lawyer ensures a planned defense customized to the details of your case.
