DUI/DWI Defense

If You've Been Charged With DUI You Need Ed Suarez To Represent You.

Florida law is tough on those arrested for DUI.  Currently, an individual arrested for DUI in Florida will have his driver license taken and immediately suspended.  Additionally, such an individual will not be issued a hardship or business purpose license for at least 30 days and in some circumstances 90 days.  These harsh sanctions take place upon arrest, prior to any court review of the validity of the charges.  Fortunately, individuals in such a situation can turn to Ed Suarez for help.  Most people don't realize that if they act quickly, an experienced lawyer like Ed Suarez can challenge such a suspension and demand a hearing where the arresting officer can be thoroughly examined and the validity of the arrest can be challenged.  Experienced DUI lawyers, like Ed Suarez, recognize that such a hearing provides the client not only with the opportunity to retain their driving privilege, but also allows him to get a great deal of information regarding the prosecution's case without the prosecutor even being there.

In addition to protecting the client's driving privileges, Ed Suarez can advise the client with the best approach to the criminal prosecution.  Florida's tough DUI laws carry minimum mandatory sentences that include mandatory probation and fines, significant community service, impoundment of vehicles and in some circumstances mandatory jail terms.

Many of your rights have to be exercised within specific time frames or they are waived.

If you have been arrested of DUI, you need to call Ed Suarez immediately.  He can help.
