Florida DUI Defense Lawyer
Aggressive Defense against the Damaging Consequences of a DUI Arrest
Simply because you failed a field sobriety test does not mean a drunk driving conviction is sure to follow. These tests are not an exact science, and more importantly, they are not a clear indication of intoxication.
When you have been charged with DUI, you want a lawyer who understands Florida field sobriety tests and knows how your results will impact your case. As a Tampa DUI defense lawyer for the past fifteen years, William Hanlon can provide you with the aggressive DUI and DWI defense you deserve.
A lot of things can affect during field sobriety tests. Medications or preexisting medical conditions can have a significant impact on how you perform. Mr. Hanlon will conduct an exhaustive investigation into your stop to determine exactly what events led to your arrest. Any evidence demonstrating mistakes or negligence on behalf of the arresting office or medical personnel can be used to apply pressure on the prosecution to completely dismiss your charges or offer a reduced charge.
