Visiting Florida? Charged With Drunk Driving?
If you received a drunk driving (DUI) charge while visiting Florida, you are facing more than a ruined vacation. You could have your license suspended in your home state and experience all the penalties that a Florida driver receives. There is no advantage to being an out-of-state driver.

We Develop a Strong DUI Defense for Local and Out-of-State Clients
We handle cases for out-of-state clients using the same strategies that we use for Florida clients: We review the traffic stop, the administration of the blood and breath tests, and other factors that can help us obtain a plea agreement or dismissal. These can include whether your rights were properly read to you and whether the officer followed correct search and seizure procedures.
