Have you recently been arrested for Driving Under the Influence and are in need of a Florida DUI defense attorney? You don't have to let this DUI arrest ruin your life. As the leading DUI defense attorney in Florida, I defend clients accused of drunk driving and related offenses. I have handled thousands of DUI cases and all of my cases are in Florida. I am the lawyer that can win your DUI case. If you have any questions about your arrest then you can call me, email me or text me. I don't care what time you call, your DUI arrest questions are very important and will be answered by me immediately. A DUI is not just a traffic ticket. A DUI is a criminal offense, usually a misdemeanor, but if this is your third DUI within 10 years it becomes a felony, or if this is your 4th DUI, it is also considered a felony. I am experienced and qualified to handle misdemeanor DUI cases, felony DUI cases due to prior convictions, and felony DUI cases involving serious injury or death. I also specialize in DUI cases with accompanying possession charges and DUI cases relating to being under the influence of drugs. A DUI conviction will alter the rest of your life. There are serious consequences to a DUI conviction which will have life long effects on your current and future employment, not to mention your insurance rates for many years to come, your privilege to drive and even a possibility of going to jail for several months. If you go to trial and lose, even on your first DUI case, the judge can sentence you to up to 180 days in jail. I have been doing DUI cases since 1994 and I am the Florida DUI defense attorney that you need to win your case. If you have been charged with DUI/drunk driving, and you are serious about your defense, you are going to want a lawyer who specializes in DUI law.
If a police officer arrested you for DUI, you should have left the jail with a DUI ticket. This DUI ticket is your driver's license for the next 10 days, as long as your license was valid on the day you were arrested. To confirm this, check the bottom of the DUI citation and see if the correct boxes are checked. If the license surrendered box is checked and the eligible for permit box is checked then you are allowed to drive on this DUI ticket for 10 days. This is a valid license not a hardship license or a business purpose only license. You only have 10 days from the date of arrest to file for your license hearing and as of October 1st, 2009, the State of Florida has decided that you should pay for this hearing. This is why it is most important that you contact a DUI defense attorney specialist as soon as possible. When I meet with clients, I sometimes hear that they are told by other DUI defense attorneys in Florida that they don't even bother filing for this hearing because they cannot be won. Wrong answer. They can be won and I win most of my DUI hardship hearings. I have spoken at numerous seminars where I teach other lawyer how to win these DUI license hearings. I can look at a police report and in seconds find numerous problems that will allow me to win. When you call me to review your DUI, I will gladly show you the flaws in the officer's report. Once I file for your license hearing, the hearing Must be held within 30 days. I have won numerous hearings because the clerk sets the hearing outside the 30 day window. Most DUI defense attorneys in Florida don't even know this rule even exists. During this 30 day period, I will review the officer's police report and video if one was taken. I will then decide to subpoena the police officers or just make a legal argument with no officers there. While this is taking place, I will provide you with a temporary driver's license that will be valid for about 42 days. This new permit is not as good as your regular license and will have restrictions. When we speak I will explain the restrictions. If I win your license hearing you will be able to obtain a duplicate driver's license. If the hearing is lost, you will not be able to drive for a period of time depending on several issues including if you refused the breath test and if you have prior DUI convictions. You will be eligible for a hardship license on the first and any consecutive suspension, unless you have been convicted of a DUI in Florida two or more times.
Select Randy Goodis, Attorney at Law, as your DUI Defense Attorney
After I win your license hearing the fight really begins. The Assistant State Attorney assigned to your case will try and convict you for the pending charges. It will be my job to make sure this does not happen. I will use the testimony from the license hearing along with your video from the night you were arrested along with depositions taken from the officers involved to file numerous motions attacking every aspect of the investigation. Remember back in high school which of your classmates became police officers, they were not the kids in the honor's classes. Police officers make mistakes, they lie and don't remember the facts months later. Mistakes made by police officer's during the investigation process can ruin the States case against you. These mistakes can be made right from the initial contact with the police officer. If the officer who pulled you over stopped you based upon an illegal stop, the case should be dismissed. If the officer coerced you into doing the roadside tests, the tests should be excluded. I have won hundreds of cases on these issues. From the time of your arrest until the case goes to court several months to years can elapse. If the officer doesn't have independent recollection of your specific facts, the case can be dismissed.
Did the officer read you your Miranda warnings? Where you involved in an accident? Did the officer see you behind the wheel of your car? Did the officer read you the correct DUI Implied Consent warnings? If you took a breath test, did the officer watch you for 20 minutes before the breath test? Call this Florida DUI defense attorney to discuss these issues.
