Fighting DUI Charges

If you or someone you know has been arrested for drunk driving you may be wondering how you can fight your DUI charges. There are a couple of key pieces of advice that could possibly make a huge difference in your case if followed.

When you are pulled over, arrested or even suspected of DUI, there are almost no circumstances where you should speak to the police or investigators about your activities of the night, especially regarding your consumption of alcohol unless there is a person in danger of injury or death or other such serious circumstances. Under normal circumstances, even if a police officer asks if you have had anything to drink you are not required to answer. By politely declining until you can speak with a Tampa DUI lawyer, and only giving the legally required information about yourself, you can ensure that your case is treated properly and has a proactive start to a good defense if you are charged with DUI.

Following an arrest and criminal charge for DUI your attorney will work with you in order to challenge the DUI evidence against you such as the results of breath and blood tests, as well as any collected evidence that suggests your guilt but may not be admissible in court for various reasons. With the help of a skilled attorney on your side it may be possible to not only build a highly effective defense against the prosecution, but in certain cases you could reduce or even completely defeat your charges.
