Should I Use the Public Defender?

If your license was taken or surrendered, you have only 10 days to request an administrative hearing with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. If you do not act within 10 days, your license will be suspended. The Sarasota public defender cannot represent you at the DUI administrative hearing. By the time the public defender is appointed to your case, you will have already lost your license.

Do Not Wait Until Arraignment to Hire Your Own Lawyer

Hiring a private attorney to represent you now may be one of the most important decisions you will make. A DUI conviction will result in a loss of your license, fines, court costs and, in some cases, a jail sentence.

Should I Hire a Private Attorney?

Yes, you should absolutely hire a private attorney. A DUI conviction can result in increased insurance rates, loss of employment now and in the future, and a suspension of your driving privileges. Hire an experienced private attorney to fight your DUI.

Most DUI arrests are the result of a police officer’s opinion that you were impaired. Before pleading guilty to a charge of DUI, consult with one of our experienced DUI lawyers and know your rights. If you blew above the legal limit, you may still have a defense. Field sobriety exercises administered by the arresting officers are designed for you to fail. Our lawyers will represent you at the administrative hearing as well as in court. We will leave no stone unturned in your defense.
