If you’ve been stopped by a law enforcement officer, you are required to provide your driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. However, you are not required to submit to field sobriety tests. These tests are often subjective and do not take into account personal factors like age, weight, physical limitations, or nervousness during the stop. Moreover, many officers lack consistent training or experience in properly administering these tests.
If you choose to perform the field sobriety test and the officer claims you failed, remember that most Florida traffic stops are recorded. An experienced Tampa Bay DUI lawyer can review this footage and often argue that the officer’s interpretation of your performance was inaccurate or that external factors invalidated the test results. We examine every detail—from how the test was administered to whether your rights were violated during the stop.
DUI charges don’t automatically lead to convictions. Our legal team can challenge:
The legality of the traffic stop
Field sobriety and breathalyzer test procedures
Video footage that contradicts the officer’s report
Statements taken without proper Miranda warnings
Lab errors or improper calibration of breath test devices
By identifying weak points in the prosecution’s case, we aim to reduce or dismiss charges whenever possible.
Navigating the criminal justice system alone can be overwhelming. A knowledgeable DUI attorney can:
Represent you in court and at administrative license hearings
Negotiate plea deals when appropriate
Protect your driving privileges
Work to reduce or dismiss charges
Provide peace of mind during a stressful time
We understand how a DUI can affect your job, finances, and reputation—and we’re here to fight for the best possible outcome.
The sooner you contact a Tampa Bay DUI lawyer, the sooner we can begin building your defense. If you’ve been arrested or charged with DUI, don’t wait. Call our office today to schedule your free consultation and take the first step toward protecting your future.
