Gainesville DUI Lawyer

Being pulled over after having a couple of drinks can be frightening for anyone. It is even more frightening when field sobriety tests or Breathalyzer tests are used by law enforcement to gather evidence against you before you are able to speak with an attorney.

The Law Offices of Terry N. Silverman, P.A., can provide you with the opportunity to turn things around in cases of DUIs and drunk driving charges. The consequences of these charges can be very serious. It is crucial to have a Gainesville DUI attorney on your side to protect your rights.

In Florida, the regulations surrounding DUIs, DWIs and drunk driving charges are very strict. There are many mandatory sentences for a conviction, but remember that in order to be convicted, a judge must find you guilty. Fighting the charges against you is worthwhile to protect yourself from consequences, such as:

• A suspended drivers license that lasts a mandatory length of six months
• Rehabilitative alcohol counseling courses (i.e., alcohol awareness, rehab) that you have to pay for and take time away from work to attend
• Supervised probation
• A permanent criminal record
• Higher car insurance rates

The judges in the area are tough to sell on reduced sentences, and achieving results without thorough preparation is nearly impossible. You need a skilled lawyer to help you through this matter.

Defense Against Field Sobriety Test And Breath Alcohol (Breathalyzer) Tests

Even if you took and failed a field sobriety test or Breathalyzer test when you were pulled over, there are legal arguments that could potentially be used to have you acquitted. Perhaps law enforcement did not follow the procedures as they should. Perhaps the breath test device was not properly calibrated. These kinds of details can make a difference in your case, and our thorough investigation and representation in the courtroom can bring them to light.
