Keeping Clients on the Road and Out of Jail
When clients come to us with a DUI arrest, they typically have two primary concerns — keeping their drivers license and staying out of jail. We work with you to achieve those goals. For instance, we help our clients apply for a work permit, allowing them to drive to and from work during a certain period of time.
Most clients' other biggest concern is significant jail time. Because everyone who is arrested for a DUI in Florida goes to jail, many people are terrified they will need to go back. When we defend clients, we work to keep them out of jail!
DUI cases are among the most complicated misdemeanor cases, and they involve a great deal of paperwork and investigation. There are numerous details that must be attended to. Attorney Michael Perry challenges the legality of every element of the case, including:
- Was the Intoxilyzer properly calibrated before use?
- Did the officer have a reason for pulling you over in the first place?
- Did the officer follow proper procedures for search and seizure?
- Were your rights properly read to you?
Most people are not aware of the intricacies of a DUI arrest. When we represent clients, we offer them the representation they need at every step of the process.
