Skilled, Aggressive Tampa Area DUI Defense Lawyer
The experience of handling hundreds of Florida DUI cases for almost 24 years does not necessarily make an attorney the right one for you, but it is an excellent indication you will be able to trust his counsel. Simply accepting the consequences of a drunk driving charge without pursuing the best available counsel can be a mistake you regret intensely.
Widely respected criminal defense lawyer Brian E. Gonzalez is versed in current Florida DUI/DWI law and DMV procedures, and he also knows the tendencies of many jurisdictions statewide. Contact us now to request a free consultation focused on the best approach to your case.
DUI Consequences Can Be Harsh and Far-Reaching
Despite all the cautionary advertising surrounding crackdowns and tougher DUI laws, many people are shocked to learn the extent of the penalties. Even for a basic first offense, conviction can bring a significant fine, 50 hours of community service, probation up to a year, impoundment of your vehicle, and having a suspended license for a lengthy period. Add factors such as a breath or blood alcohol level (BAL) over .15 percent, a minor in the vehicle, or previous convictions, and the penalties increase drastically.
We Provide Complete Investigation and Assessment of Your Case
Our law offices are a proven resource for people who need to go all-out to prevent the most severe, life-changing consequences of a DUI. We have earned numerous acquittals, and we have also negotiated assertively for consequences clients could cope with when there was no strong, viable line of defense.
We always start by listening and learning. We will look well beyond police reports and your own version of events to consider factors such as:
- Whether your traffic stop may have been an illegal stop, because the officer had insufficient cause to suspect you of driving under the influence
- If the equipment used to measure your BAL may have been improperly operated or maintained
- If you refused to take a breath test, whether signs of impairment are not sufficient to support a conviction
At the Law Offices of Brian E. Gonzalez, you can count on straight answers and useful counsel. We do not "blow smoke" or make unrealistic promises. If you need an attorney with the judgment and skill to handle your case according to the specific circumstances and your needs, contact us today for a free consultation.
