FLORIDA DUI DEFENSE ATTORNEY FIGHTING FOR YOUR FUTURE
Being arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Florida can have serious consequences, including license suspension, heavy fines, increased insurance rates, probation, and even jail time. If you've been charged with DUI, it’s crucial to have an experienced and aggressive attorney on your side to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.
At Kaylor & Kaylor, we understand the stakes involved and the impact a DUI conviction can have on your life. With years of experience as a former prosecutor, Kaylor & Kaylor provides comprehensive DUI defense strategies tailored to your case.
UNDERSTANDING DUI CHARGES IN FLORIDA
A DUI arrest can be overwhelming — license suspension, court dates, fines, and possible jail time. But every case is different. At Kaylor & Kaylor, we take the time to examine the evidence, question the procedures, and build the strongest defense possible from the start.
What Happens After a DUI Arrest?
In Florida, a DUI charge can stem from either a breathalyzer test showing a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher or from impaired driving due to drugs or alcohol. Upon arrest, you may face immediate consequences such as:
License Suspension
Depending on your BAC and prior convictions, your driver’s license may be suspended. We can help you navigate this process and work to minimize or avoid suspension.
Field Sobriety Tests
Officers may ask you to take field sobriety tests, which are often subjective and open to challenge. Your attorney will thoroughly examine the circumstances surrounding these tests to ensure they were conducted fairly.
Breathalyzer or Blood Tests
If you refused to take a breathalyzer or blood test, you could face additional penalties. However, we will carefully analyze how the test was administered to ensure that proper procedures were followed.
Aggressive DUI Defense Strategies
At Kaylor & Kaylor, we don’t accept the prosecution’s case at face value. Instead, we evaluate every aspect of the arrest and test results to find weaknesses that can be used to your advantage. Below are some of the common defense strategies we employ.
Challenging the Traffic Stop
If the officer did not have reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle, the evidence collected afterward may be inadmissible.
Contesting the Field Sobriety
These tests are notoriously unreliable. We will scrutinize whether they were administered correctly and whether factors such as your physical condition could have affected your performance.
Questioning the Accuracy of Breathalyzer/Blood Tests
Breathalyzer tests can provide faulty readings due to a variety of factors, including equipment malfunctions, improper calibration, or errors in administration. We will investigate every detail of the test to identify potential flaws.
Suppressing Evidence
If evidence in your DUI case was collected improperly or unlawfully, we can fight to have it suppressed or excluded from the case. Whether it's a flawed breathalyzer test, improper police procedures, or violations of your constitutional rights, we will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the evidence to ensure your rights are protected.
