22. Palm Coast
    1. Appignani, Donald: Do I Need A Criminal Defense Lawyer? Any person who is facing a criminal charge, no matter how minor, will benefit from consulting a competent criminal defense lawyer. Even if the lawyer is not retained to provide representation in court, a consultation will help a criminal defendant understand the nature of the charges filed, available defenses, what plea bargains are likely to be offered, and what is likely to happen in the event of conviction. For serious charges, it will be a rare defendant who does not benefit from having a competent criminal defense lawyer assist with the negotiation of a plea bargain, or to prepare a case for trial. A criminal defense lawyer should also be able to identify important pretrial issues, and to bring appropriate motions which might significantly improve a defendant's situation, or even result in the dismissal of charges.
23. Palm Harbor
    1. Press, Jan: The hiring of an attorney is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements.

    1. Spicer & Miller: potential jail time isn't all that is at stake. In criminal cases, the defendant also risks a record of conviction on their criminal history, possible driver's license / auto insurance repercussions, fines, probation, community service and home confinement. Sometimes the long term effects of criminal charges can be more damaging than the short term effects even when short jail stays are involved. For example, criminal convictions which get entered on an individuals arrest record can stay with them for many years to come and interfere with their ability to secure certain types of employment, or convictions on a driver's license record can trigger an increase or cancellation of auto insurance or even a suspension / revocation of their driving privilege. If you are charged with a crime, do not delay in contacting an attorney.

    1. Braaten, Arica: Protect your rights!
    2. Menditto, Phillip: If you've been arrested for a DUI, you may be tempted to plead guilty, pay the fines, serve any incarceration period, and put the entire unfortunate incident behind you. But think twice before you do this. A guilty conviction for DUI can cause future problems, which many individuals facing these charges are unaware. A drunk driving conviction is a serious charge with more far-reaching consequences than virtually any common citizen might realize. Administrative penalties, including loss of driving privileges, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and other issues, including now possessing a criminal record that detrimentally affects employment opportunities, will now befall any individual pleading guilty to a driving while intoxicated charge. If you've been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Fort Lauderdale, a Fort Lauderdale DUI lawyer can help protect your rights, fight the charge, and possible keep you from being convicted, as well as lessen the penalties in the case of a conviction.

    2. Anthony, Malcolm: You can be arrested for DUI by driving while over the legal BAC in your state or while impaired. But, you need not actually operate the car in order to be arrested. You can still be found guilty if you had the capability and power to dominate, direct, or regulate the vehicle, regardless of whether you were exercising that capability or power at the time of the arrest. In other words, simply sitting behind the wheel with the keys in the ignition can lead to your arrest for DUI by being in actual physical control of the car. Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious crime. If you are arrested and found guilty, the law requires, among other things, that you be convicted, you will lose your license, you will be fined, and the court could put you in jail. Choosing the right DUI Lawyer can determine the outcome of your case and potentially your future. Drunk Driving Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious crime.

    3. Kirshy, Russell: A conviction can result in surrendering your current way of life and your opportunity for liberty. Do not accept a guilty plea without speaking to an attorney first. Do not go it alone.
43. Port Orange
    Greg Johnson: If I'm stopped by a police officer and he/she asks me if I've been drinking, what should I say? You are not required to answer potentially incriminating questions. There are basically three acceptable alternatives, each with its own potential consequences. One approach would be simply to ask, "Why are you stopping me, Officer?", even if it is at a sobriety checkpoint. When the officer asks, "Have you had anything to drink this evening?", simply say, "Officer, I do not wish to be delayed. Please do not delay me. I want to drive home". If the officer has no other basis to ask you out of the car, you will be on your way. A polite, "I would like to speak with an attorney before I answer any questions", is also an appropriate reply. If you start with that answer, we suggest that you keep on giving that answer until you have consulted with an attorney. A third reply - where appropriate (that means "true") -- might be saying that you had one or two beers. That would not be incriminating as they are not usually sufficient to cause intoxication -- and it may explain the odor of alcohol on the breath. However, it would be sufficient cause for the officer to have you take a field sobriety test.

48. Rockledge
    1. Marasco, Robert: Many DUI cases seem factually indefensible. Often issues exist concerning the police officers lack of probable cause to stop your vehicle. High breath test cases can be "thrown out" if you were illegally stopped or detained.

    1. Daniel Uhlfelder: drunk driving is taken very seriously in this popular and growing area, and you should contact a drunk driving defense lawyer as soon as you have been arrested.

First time offenders could have their license suspended for 6 months to a year, in addition to facing fines, increased insurance premiums, and the development of a criminal record.

You have only 10 days from the date of arrest to request a formal review of your driverÕs license suspension. I will assist you in submitting the hearing request at no charge.

Penalties for the second or subsequent offenses vary depending upon whether you are charged with a felony or a misdemeanor and the date of your prior offense. If you are convicted of driving with a suspended license, the penalties include: up to 60 days imprisonment and a fine of $500 for the first offense and up to 1 year imprisonment and a fine of $1000 for a second offense. Penalties for the third or subsequent offense vary depending upon whether you are charged with a felony or a misdemeanor.

    1. John A. Jabro: Many people arrested for DUI reach this conclusion after reviewing the evidence the state intends to use against them. They mistakenly believe that an explanation of their activities on the night of their arrest, including what, when and where they had been drinking, will convince the police to let them go or call a cab. Instead, the arresting officer will make note the comments which will be later used in the State's prosecution. DUI & Felony "I SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT' Many people arrested for DUI reach this conclusion after reviewing the evidence the state intends to use against them. They mistakenly believe that an explanation of their activities on the night of their arrest, including what, when and where they had been drinking, will convince the police to let them go or call a cab. Instead, the arresting officer will make note the comments which will be later used in the State's prosecution. The appellate courts in Florida have ruled that many such comments made at the roadside are not protected by our Constitutional right to remain silent. One exception to this general rule is when an accident occurs. Because motorists are compelled by statute to give information to an accident investigator, our Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination requires that police receive a "knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver" prior to interrogation regarding a possible DUI. The most common advice from attorneys to prospective clients is, therefore, to make no statements regarding any matter nor answer any questions to any law enforcement officers -until you have spoken to your attorney. Request contact with your attorney immediately and remain silent until you have spoken to him or her.
    2. Hershoff, Lupino & Yagel: When charged with DUI, the driver's license is taken away. Within 10 days, an administrative review hearing can be scheduled for a temporary license. The chances for a hardship license are affected by the circumstances of the arrest - test refusal, test results, number of offenses.

    1. Musil Law Firm: Driving Under the Influence Were you pulled over for D.U.I. or driving under the influence? Did the police officer have a valid reason to stop you? Did you refuse the breathelizer test? Do you suffer from an injury to your hips, knees, back, joints or elsewhere that would affect your balance? Did the police fail to advise you of your right to an attorney before taking the field sobriety (balance) test? Were your field sobriety (balance) tests conducted on a surface that was not even, flat, clean, properly lighted, or protected from the wind? Did the glare from the police carÕs overhead lights blind you or make you dizzy? Were you wearing contact lenses while taking roadside tests? Were you arrested on private property? If videotaped, did you appear sober, even if you were scared or exhausted? Did the officer confuse fear or exhaustion with intoxication (drunkenness)? Did you recently suffer a concussion (blow to the head) that would duplicate intoxication (drunkenness)? Do you suffer from diabetes, hypoglycemia or any other condition that might have caused you to seem impaired? Do you know people who would honestly testify they saw you while you were fine shortly before you were stopped? Did the Law Enforcement Officer wake you from a deep sleep while you were stopped or parked? If you were in an accident, did you suffer injuries that might have caused the Law Enforcement Officer to mistakenly believe you were drunk? Did you wear removable dentures during the breath test? If you have been arrested for Driving Under the Influence or D.U.I, it is crucial to have an experienced attorney review your case and advise you of your rights and options. In some cases, the police doesnÕt have enough evidence or did not follow procedures and your case may be dismissed. In other cases, your charges may be lowered.
    2. Siemers, Laura: DUI charges involve two separate legal processes: the administrative DMV hearing and charges in the criminal court.

    1. Traffic Ticket Guy: There are many ways to fight a DUI charge. An experienced defense lawyer can take immediate steps to simultaneously preserve your driving privileges and begin to challenge every aspect of the prosecution's case, including: The validity of Field or station breath test evidence Blood test evidence Arrest and jail intake video evidence Whether you are facing drunk driving charges for the first time, a fourth offense felony DUI or were arrested in connection with a drunk driving accident, we can provide you with the legal advice and defense representation you need. Contact us today. From the time you are charged with a DUI, you have ten days to request an administrative hearing to seek a hardship license (a license that allows you to drive to and from work or school). If you don't take care of a DUI citation or apply for an administrative hearing, you can lose your right to obtain a hardship license. Your license may be automatically suspended. During the discovery process and the administrative hearing regarding your driver's license suspension, gather all the relevant evidence and testimony that will likely form the basis of the prosecution's case. The importance of having an experienced DUI defense trial lawyer at your side in these proceedings cannot be overstated. Police officer testimony at the administrative hearing will almost certainly be admissible in your trial. Unlike at trial, the prosecution will not have the opportunity to rehearse the process with the arresting officer.

We can also analyze the basis for the arrest and the tests used to charge DWI to see if there is a good challenge at trial to the charge.

    1. Teresa Sop: It is important for the lawyer to carefully investigate the charge and determine if the state can prove the charges. An attorney will determine whether probable cause existed for law enforcement officers to stop your vehicle, whether the officers followed standard protocol and legal requirements in questioning you, and whether probable cause existed to request you submit to a blood or breath test.
