Focused DUI Defense in Riviera Beach, Florida

​

A DUI charge in Riviera Beach is more than just a traffic offense—it’s a criminal charge with serious and lasting consequences. Under Florida Statute §316.193, even a first-time DUI conviction can lead to:

​

• Jail time

• Driver’s license suspension

• Probation

• Hefty fines and court costs

• Mandatory DUI school

• Vehicle impoundment

• Installation of an ignition interlock device

 

We aggressively defend all DUI-related cases, including:

​

• First-Time DUI Arrests

• Repeat or Felony DUI Offenses

• DUI Causing Injury or Property Damage

• DUI Manslaughter or Serious Bodily Injury

• DUI with Drugs or Prescription Medication

• Underage DUI

• Refusal to Submit to Testing

 

We’ll examine whether the traffic stop was legal, whether the officer had probable cause, and whether the breathalyzer or blood test was administered and calibrated properly. Any procedural or constitutional violation could lead to evidence being thrown out—and your charges being reduced or dismissed.

​

Act fast: You have only 10 days after a DUI arrest to request a Formal Review Hearing to challenge your license suspension. Contact us immediately for urgent legal help.

What to Do If You’re Arrested in Riviera Beach, FL

​

Getting arrested is overwhelming—but what you do in the moments after your arrest is critical:

​

1. Stay Silent – Do not talk to police. Politely say: “I want to speak to my attorney.”

2. Do Not Consent to Searches – Without a valid warrant or lawful exception, police cannot search your phone, car, or home.

3. Call a Lawyer Immediately – Early legal action can drastically affect your outcome.

4. Do Not Resist Arrest – Even if the charges are bogus, physical resistance will only hurt your case.

 

Remember: law enforcement is building a case against you from the start. Don’t give them any help—call a skilled defense lawyer right away.
