Traffic offenses in Florida
If you pay a traffic citation in the state of Florida it is an admission of guilt. The DHSMV assesses points on your license that will result in higher insurance premiums, and may cause the suspension of your license if you accumulate 12 points.
If you have received a traffic citation in Florida, it is important to act quickly. If you live out of state, you will not have to travel to Florida or take valuable time off work to attend traffic court. We will appear in court for you. You need not be present unless you wish to testify.

Driving under the influence in Florida
Getting charged with driving under the influence (DUI) in Florida begins with getting pulled over by the police and ends with you spending the night in jail. After reading your DUI citation, you learn that you have a pending court date, and that you only have ten days to contest the suspension of your license.
There are two different procedures that immediately go into motion when you are facing DUI charges.
- The administrative suspension of your license with DHSMV
- The criminal prosecution by the state attorney’s office
Our Daytona Beach drunk driving lawyers immediately file paperwork with the DHSMV to contest your license suspension. We also enter a Notice of Appearance with the court so that we may appear at all of your court dates and receive all evidence against you from the state attorney’s office.
When you are facing criminal charges, including driving drunk or drug crimes in Florida, it is in your best interest to get an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side to protect your rights.
