The Credibility Docket
DUI Defense
Two cases from one arrest.
An Orlando DUI arrest opens two files at the same time — the criminal case in court and a separate administrative case against your driver license. Both need a DUI defense strategy from day one.
Track 01
The Criminal Case
Charges filed by the State and moved through criminal court — arraignment, discovery, motions, negotiation, and (if the case demands it) trial.
- Motions & suppression
- Discovery review
- Plea posture
- Trial preparation
Track 02
The Administrative Case
A separate action against the driver's license runs on its own faster clock through the DHSMV — parallel to the criminal case, with its own hearing and its own record.
- License hearing
- Driving privileges
- DHSMV record
- Compliance strategy

Common Questions
Clarity before the next step.
Stay calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and contact a defense attorney as quickly as possible. Early steps — including license-related deadlines — can shape the entire case, so a prompt consultation is critical.
Yes. A DUI arrest in Florida can trigger an administrative license process separate from the criminal case. Eligibility for hardship or formal review depends on the specific facts, so reach out promptly to understand your options.
A confidential review of the facts, a plain-English explanation of what is at stake, the realistic options on the table, and the next steps if you choose to retain the firm.
A first DUI in Florida is still a criminal charge with serious collateral consequences. An experienced DUI defense attorney can evaluate evidence, suppression issues, and resolution paths a non-lawyer simply cannot.
No. Many cases resolve through motions, negotiated dispositions, or diversion-style outcomes when available. Trial is one option among several — the right path depends on the evidence and the client's priorities.
