Marion County, Florida, DUI Defense Lawyer

The penalties for a Florida DUI conviction can be significant. You can loose your license, face heavy fines, and even be sent to jail. Your ability to be hired for certain jobs may be affected. If you are facing charges of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney to make sure your rights are protected. I have been defending people charged with DUI for over 20 years. Contact my Ocala, Florida, law office to learn how I can put this experience to work for you.

I am a trial lawyer and am certified in Criminal Trial Law by the Florida Bar Association. I understand the challenges presented by a DUI case. Many people believe that breathalyzers and other field sobriety tests are infallible. Although this is not true, you need a lawyer who is able to examine the results of the tests and the way they were obtained. I do this for my clients charged with drunk driving, building the strongest possible defense for them.

My clients have included people facing charges related to:

• Underage drinking and driving
  
  
• Refusal to take a breathalyzer test
  
  
• DUI on a suspended or revoked license
  
  
• Vehicular manslaughter
  
  
• DUI manslaughter
  
  
• Second or third DUI offense
  
  
• Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) of .20 or higher

My years of trial experience are essential when defending clients against charges such as these. I have successfully proposed alternate sentences in some cases. In others I have been able to obtain a reduction of the charges, resulting in less severe penalties. Whatever the result of your case, you can be sure that I will work hard to defend you, providing your with personal attention and regular case updates along the way.

If you or a family member have been charged with any type of DUI, do not risk your ability to drive, your record, or your future. Contact a criminal defense lawyer who has significant experience defending people in Marion County, Florida, against charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
