Florida DUI Charges We Defend

We represent clients charged with:

  • Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

  • Felony DUI

  • DUI Manslaughter

  • DUI with Serious Bodily Injury

  • Multiple-Offense DUI

  • Underage DUI

  • Refusal to Submit to Testing

  • Leaving the Scene of an Accident

  • Reckless Driving

The Immediate Consequences of a Florida DUI

A DUI arrest can trigger:

  • Administrative license suspension

  • Vehicle impoundment

  • Mandatory DUI school

  • Increased insurance rates

  • Professional licensing implications

Time-sensitive action is critical. Florida's administrative suspension process begins quickly after arrest.

Early strategic intervention can protect both your criminal defense and driving privileges.

Challenging Breath, Blood & Field Sobriety Evidence

DUI prosecutions frequently rely on:

  • Breathalyzer results

  • Blood alcohol testing

  • Field sobriety exercises

  • Officer observations

  • Body camera footage

However, DUI evidence is not infallible.

Luxury-level defense requires careful scrutiny of:

  • Breath machine calibration and maintenance records

  • Officer certification and testing procedures

  • Improper administration of field sobriety exercises

  • Medical conditions affecting test results

  • Rising blood alcohol defenses

  • Unlawful traffic stops

A Board-Certified Criminal Trial Attorney understands how to dissect forensic testing and expose weaknesses in DUI prosecutions.


DUI Manslaughter & Serious Injury Cases

DUI manslaughter and DUI with serious bodily injury are among the most aggressively prosecuted offenses in Florida.

These cases often involve:

  • Accident reconstruction analysis

  • Blood testing and toxicology reports

  • Causation challenges

  • Expert witness testimony

Strategic defense requires independent forensic evaluation and disciplined trial preparation.

When the exposure is severe, preparation is not optional — it is essential.


Traffic Offenses with Criminal Consequences

Certain traffic offenses in Florida are criminal in nature and can carry jail exposure, including:

  • Reckless driving

  • Racing

  • Driving while license suspended (DWLS)

  • Habitual traffic offender charges

For professionals and individuals with security clearances, even a misdemeanor traffic conviction can carry lasting impact.

We approach these cases with the same level of preparation and discretion as serious felony matters.


Why Board Certification Matters in DUI Defense

Board Certification in Criminal Trial Law reflects:

  • Verified jury trial experience

  • Advanced testing in criminal law

  • Peer-reviewed professional recognition

  • Ongoing specialized education

DUI cases are technical. They involve constitutional law, forensic science, and procedural precision.

When the prosecution's case depends on scientific evidence, trial-level credentials matter.


Protecting Your License, Record, and Reputation

A DUI conviction can affect:

  • Employment opportunities

  • Professional licenses

  • Commercial driving privileges

  • Immigration status

  • Insurance costs

  • Public reputation

At Jordan Holmes Law, P.A., we provide focused, boutique representation designed to protect both immediate legal interests and long-term professional consequences.
