Charlotte County DUI Attorney
At Fritsch Law Firm, our criminal defense attorneys are highly skilled in the area of DUI defense. Having received a great deal of education pertaining to Florida DUI law and after completing specialized DUI training at both the state and national levels, the lawyers at our firm are well-equipped to handle all types of drunk driving cases. This particular set of skills is a great asset to anyone who has been arrested and charged with DUI (driving under the influence) in Punta Gorda, Sarasota and Fort Myers, Florida.
A person who drinks and drives with a BAC (blood alcohol content) at or above 0.08% can be arrested and charged with drunk driving by law enforcement. They will then be required to attend an administrative hearing and then must face their charges in court. If a person fails to obtain legal advice and retain the services of a skilled Charlotte County DUI lawyer, the chances of them being convicted greatly increase. Drunk driving cases are often very complex and require aggressive legal representation and defense tactics which is why it’s so difficult for people without legal training to handle their own cases.
Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer in Punta Gorda, FL
As former state prosecutors who have represented many clients during DUI cases, the attorneys at our firm know exactly what to expect from judges, law enforcement officials and the prosecution. This knowledge gives them insight into the prosecution and what they will try to do when seeking conviction. In order to provide you with the best defense possible, your attorney will look for any problems or legal issues that may exist involving field sobriety tests, blood tests and/or breath tests. Also, an arresting officer must have reasonable suspicion that a person was indeed under the influence of alcohol or drugs before they can place the person under arrest, and if this is lacking then DUI charges could be dismissed entirely.
