Tampa Bay DUI Attorneys for Tampa and Clearwater, FL

If you have been arrested for DUI, you only have 10 calendar days to request a formal review hearing to contest the administrative suspension of your driver’s license. Requesting the formal review hearing will allow you to drive over the next 45 days while your attorney fights the administrative suspension of your driver’s license. The DUI formal review hearing in Tampa or Clearwater may be the most important part of your DUI case because during the hearing your attorney will cross examine all of the witnesses under oath, obtain the calibration records, scrutinize the arrest reports, and explore any DUI defenses.

In a Tampa or Clearwater DUI case involving a high blow, defenses can include showing that the machine was improperly calibrated, that the reading was within a margin of error due to the blood / breath partition ratio, or using retrograde extrapolation to show a lower breath / blood alcohol level at the time of driving compared with the time of testing.

In a DUI refusal case for Hillsborough County or Pinellas County, FL, your DUI attorney can show that your refusal does not indicate “consciousness of guilt.” Additionally, mistakes made by the law enforcement officer can result in the dismissal of the DUI charges for an illegal stop of your vehicle, an arrest without probable cause, the exclusion of the field sobriety exercises, or the suppression of any statements made before or after the formal DUI arrest.

Whether the police alleged that you refused the breath test, or whether you blew over the legal limit, contact one of our DUI Attorneys for any DUI case in Hillsborough County or Pinellas County, FL.
