Helping Florida and Out-of-State Residents Charged with DUI

Do not discount the sense of immediacy following a DUI arrest. Too much is at stake when you are facing serious and potentially life-changing criminal charges. At Sparkman & Sparkman, P.A., we move quickly and aggressively to ensure that your rights are protected.

Do not assume that your arrest for driving under the influence will automatically lead to a conviction. A seasoned criminal defense attorney will investigate all aspects of your arrest, from the initial stop to all subsequent testing. Contact us at our St. Petersburg or Tampa office today.

The Criminal and Administrative Aspects of a DUI

Whether you are a Florida resident or visiting the state on vacation, you need the level of advocacy we provide at Sparkman & Sparkman, P.A. Not only do you need strong advocacy to focus on the criminal consequences, you also need help in dealing with the administrative matters related to keeping or losing your driver's license.

Representation at the Administrative Hearing

Within 10 days following your arrest, we will file for an administrative hearing. Our goal is to prevent a suspension of your license. If the hearing officer rules against us, we will strive to secure a hardship license for work-related purposes.

The administrative hearing also provides us a chance for discovery, aiding us in the criminal aspect of your DUI defense case.

Seeking the Best Outcome in Court

DUI convictions carry minimum mandatory sentences. With that in mind, we aggressively seek to get charges dismissed or reduced. We may be able to challenge the initial stop and driving pattern noted by the arresting officer. We may also be able to dispute the findings of the breath and sobriety tests. As former prosecutors, we possess rare insight into how the opposition litigates these cases.

Don't give in to aggressive prosecutors seeking to resolve your case quickly and have you plead guilty. They do not have your best interests in mind. We do.
