Sometimes when a person calls me after having been arrested for DUI the person is so nervous that they start thinking immediately about all the negative consequences a conviction will impose upon their lives and the lives of their loved ones. On one hand, it's reasonable to think about such things after a DUI arrest. If convicted, your car insurance will be more expensive, there will be court costs and fines assessed, a DUI school or alcohol/substance abuse prevention class may be ordered, and you may lose your job if driving is an important part of what you do for a living.
On the other hand, an experience criminal defense lawyer may be able to get the charge dropped or at least reduced depending upon the circumstances of your case. If the evidence is weak or circumstantial, if proper law enforcement procedures were not followed, if your civil rights were violated. . . In other words, if you've been arrested for DUI, you need to talk to a criminal defense lawyer who's got the experience to guide you through this nerve-wracking experience. I can promise you this-I'll work hard for you to get the best possible result and you'll be part of that decision making process. So, if you've been arrested for DUI don't make another mistake by trying to deal with it on your own. Call a criminal defense lawyer that has trial experience and knows the prosecutors in Pinellas County as well as the Tampa Bay area.
