Lawyers like to say they wrote the book on something. Here the phrase is literal. Rory Safir wrote and published a 205-page book on Florida DUI defense, and it sits on this shelf beside a free guide and a library of thirteen free topic booklets.
Everything below is free or close to it, and that is deliberate. An informed client asks better questions, makes better decisions, and gets more from every conversation with their lawyer. An informed client is a better client.
The book
Arrested for DUI in Florida: What a Forensic Lawyer-Scientist Wants You to Know Before You Plead
205 pages: 19 chapters in four parts, a Common Questions FAQ, four plain-language appendices, and 16 full-page diagrams. The print edition ends with an 8-page Your Case Notes workbook you fill in and hand to your lawyer, so your first meeting starts with the facts of your case already on paper. Written by Rory Safir, one of six ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientists in Florida, an NHTSA-qualified field sobriety instructor, and a former Assistant Public Defender in Tampa’s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit with hundreds of cases behind him.
Facing a charge in Tampa Bay? The book is free to you: the paperback mails from the first printing, and the digital edition, cover and all, is delivered the moment you submit the request form.
Prefer to buy? The paperback ($17.95) and Kindle ($7.99) editions arrive on Amazon this week.

For lawyers
A practitioner volume, The Florida DUI Science Manual, is forthcoming. It is written for lawyers who defend these cases rather than for the people charged in them, by an author who serves on the National College for DUI Defense National Task Force committees on alcohol and drug testing devices and on trial advocacy. If you have a case to refer in the meantime, start at the referrals page.
Questions about the book, the guides, or a pending case? Call or text (727) 761-4318, any hour.
Everything on this page is general information, not legal advice; every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
