DUI
If you get a ticket for Driving Under the Influence or a DUI, an attorney can take care of many of the required, time sensitive steps necessary for regaining your driver's license. Your rights may have been violated or you may have been wrongfully accused. An attorney can represent your case before the judge and ensure that you get the best possible outcome.
What You Should Do Following a DUI:
- The first thing you should do is sign up for the formal review hearing at the Bureau of Driver Improvement. This should be done within 10 days of the DUI arrest. This is important because the State of Florida Department of Motor Vehicle may suspend your license prior to you ever appearing in court.
- At Lusk, Drasites, Tolisano & Smith, our attorneys will make sure to review that proper police conduct occurred when you were ticketed. Specifically, the police must have had a valid reason to stop your vehicle and probable cause to begin a DUI investigation. Once an investigation has begun, our attorneys at Lusk, Drasites, Tolisano & Smith will look into the proper administration of the breathalyzer test and field sobriety exercise. If improper conduct is found, then some or all of the evidence against you can be thrown out of court or your case could be dismissed.
- At Lusk, Drasites, Tolisano & Smith P.A., our attorneys can play an important role in negotiating an appropriate plea if a case does not go to trial. Often times, a DUI may be reduced to a reckless driving offense.
Call Lusk, Drasites, Tolisano & Smith P.A. at 1-800-991-9620 to set up an appointment to discuss your DUI charge.
