Fight Your Tampa DUI

Tampa DUI Defense Lawyer

A person who has been arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) needs to weigh his or her options in challenging these criminal charges. Particularly if you took a breath test and failed, you may feel that you have little to no chance of avoiding a conviction. This does not have to be the case. Just because you were arrested for DUI does not mean that you should be found guilty of DUI. A skilled criminal defense lawyer can help you fight drunk driving charges to help you avoid a conviction and even save your driver's license from suspension by the DHSMV (Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles).

When you work with a Tampa DUI attorney at Thomas & Paulk, you will find that we provide a two-pronged approach to your case. In addition to protecting your rights in criminal court proceedings, we will represent you interests at your DMV hearing to challenge the suspension of your license. Because we handle both sides of the case, we have found that we are able to build a more effective defense. Even if you took a breath test or blood test and showed a result of .08% or greater or were told that you performed terribly on field sobriety tests, we may still be able to build a successful defense on your behalf.

Challenging Drunk Driving Charges

There are different approaches that we may take in challenging drunk driving charges for a Tampa driver. This may include looking at the manner in which field sobriety tests or a breath test were administered, whether an arrest was lawful and whether the evidence against our client should hold any weight in court. We may be able to have evidence dismissed based upon procedural violations or other types of mistakes or violations of your legal rights by law enforcement or the prosecution.
