I am available 24 hours a day. Call me immediately. I know the strict deadlines that must be met and procedures that must be followed when presenting a defense. I will work diligently to have the charges dismissed or reduced, whether you are a student at the University of Florida or a tourist on vacation. Having experience in the criminal courts as both a prosecutor and a defender, I know how to build a solid case.
When you are pulled over, maintaining a courteous and polite attitude will influence how the officers treat you. You may challenge being pulled over or even refuse the breath test. If you refuse the breath test, it is likely that your driver's license will be suspended. A second refusal is a misdemeanor. Your citation will act as a temporary diving permit for 10 days. If you do nothing, you will face license suspension.
You Have Legal Rights; Use Them.
The repercussions of drunk driving are significant. For a first-time DUI conviction, the penalties may include a fine, up to six months in jail, community service, DUI school and the impounding of your vehicle. Second convictions bring higher fines and longer jail sentences in addition to the mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device. This device will require you to blow into it prior to allowing the car to start. Third convictions bring additional jail time.
If you are arrested, remember you have the right to remain silent. Be sure to ask for your attorney, Christian A. Straile, and then do not speak to anyone until I am with you. I will do all I can to help you avoid a conviction, maintain your license and stay in school including collaborating with a team of experts to reconstruct the scene and to thoroughly investigate your situation. As your lawyer, I will represent you wherever you are facing charges, whether it is a DMV hearing, a criminal hearing or a hearing at the University.
