Focused DUI Defense in Pahokee, Florida

​

DUI arrests in Pahokee are taken seriously under Florida Statute §316.193, and the penalties can be life-altering—even for a first-time offense. We defend all types of DUI cases, including:

​

• First-Time DUI Arrests

• Repeat DUI Offenses

• DUI with Property Damage or Injury

• DUI Manslaughter or Serious Bodily Injury

• Underage DUI

• DUI Involving Drugs or Prescription Medications

• Refusal to Submit to Testing

 

Florida’s DUI laws are harsh. Even a first offense can lead to jail time, license suspension, fines, community service, and mandatory DUI school. Our defense strategies focus on challenging breath and blood tests, questioning the legality of the traffic stop, and identifying procedural errors that may lead to dismissal or reduction of charges.

​

You only have 10 days from your arrest to request a Formal Review Hearing to fight the automatic driver’s license suspension. Time is critical—call us immediately after your DUI arrest.

​

​

What to Do If You’re Arrested in Pahokee, Florida

​

The moment of arrest is confusing and stressful—but your actions can significantly affect your outcome. Here's what you must do:

​

1. Stay Silent – Do not answer questions. Politely say: “I want to speak to my lawyer.”

2. Don’t Consent to Searches – Without a valid warrant or probable cause, you have the right to refuse.

3. Ask for an Attorney Immediately – Early legal intervention is often the key to dismissal or reduced charges.

4. Do Not Resist Arrest – Even if you’re innocent, resisting can make things worse.

 

Protect your rights from the start. The sooner we get involved, the better your chances.
