Approach
How Sabrina examines a DUI file.
Every DUI file is reviewed stage by stage — the stop, the exercises, the chemical testing, the administrative side, and the motions and preparation the record supports. General information only; it is not legal advice about any specific case. In drug-related cases that record can also include drug-influence indicators noted during an evaluation.

The Prosecutor Advantage
The State has a playbook. Sabrina helped write it. That is the advantage you bring to the table when she's at your side.
The State
Files it by the checklist.
Reports, standardized field exercises, breath data, and boilerplate charging language — pointed at conviction.
The Defense
Reads the file the way the State wrote it.
Every observation, instrument, and procedural decision tested against the standard Sabrina once enforced.
Evidence review
What the evidence review actually looks at
Orlando DUI defense starts with the file the State is building. A stop, a field sobriety exercise, and a breath or blood test are not the same issue. Each has its own rules, and each can support or undermine the charge depending on how it was administered.
Field sobriety exercises are evaluated against how they were instructed and scored — see Sabrina's video on the One-Leg Stand clues. Breath testing raises implied-consent and refusal questions under Florida law, which are covered in the breath-test refusal guide and the matching video.
After a stop or arrest, the first job is to understand rights and options before assuming the outcome — including the separate license track. That is the point of what to do after being stopped or arrested. None of this is a predicted result. It is the work of reading the evidence the way a former prosecutor built the other side's file.
