A DUI arrest in Florida is not a conviction. It is an accusation, and an accusation is only as strong as the evidence behind it. I wrote this book for the person Googling at midnight: what really happened at the stop, the two clocks already running on your case, what the breath machine can and cannot prove, and the three roads out. Plain English, no law degree required.

What is inside

• The ten day license deadline, and exactly what to do before it runs
• The breath machine, the roadside exercises, and the blood draw, taken apart by a lawyer trained to run the instruments
• Your court dates explained, county by county, courthouse by courthouse
• The three roads out of a DUI: diversion, reduction, or trial
• How to hire the right lawyer, and the questions that expose the wrong one

Nineteen chapters in four parts, a Common Questions section, four plain-language appendices, and sixteen full-page diagrams, 205 pages in all, written by one of six ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientists in Florida. The print edition ends with an eight-page Your Case Notes workbook: your timeline of the night, a ten day license log, and your questions for your lawyer, filled in by you and handed to whoever takes your case.

Vet the author the way you would vet a lawyer: I am an NHTSA-qualified field sobriety instructor, I serve on the National College for DUI Defense National Task Force committees on alcohol and drug testing devices and on trial advocacy, and I handled hundreds of cases as an Assistant Public Defender in Tampa’s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit.
