Using Collaboration And Experience To Protect Your Freedom And Reputation

Protect Your Driving Privileges With A Florida DUI Defense Lawyer

Florida’s lawmakers and judges take drunk driving seriously in Florida. Even a first-time driving under the influence (DUI) charge can land you in jail for up to six months. If you are convicted, you face driver’s license revocation, hefty fines and court fees, and possible jail time. Depending on your blood alcohol content or prior offenses, the severity of the penalties will increase.

Understanding the administrative and criminal aspects of your DUI charges can be complicated. But keep in mind that you may have defenses even if you failed field sobriety tests or a breath test after arrest. You need an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side who will develop compelling arguments for the dismissal of the charges. Contact Michael A. Gottlieb, P.A., for help:

  • Protecting your driver’s license
  • Staying out of jail
  • Getting charges reduced or dismissed
  • Protecting your clean record

From your initial consultation until your case is finished, you will work with our team of two dedicated, experienced attorneys. Both of us are former public defenders who know the courts inside and out.

A Team Of Experienced Fort Lauderdale DUI Defense Attorneys

Attorney Michael A. Gottlieb has more than 30 years of criminal defense experience, and attorney Clark Alan Strandell has 18 years of experience, including many jury trials. Collaboratively at Michael A. Gottlieb, P.A., we defend clients charged with DUI in Fort Lauderdale and across Broward County.

Let us hear from you and discuss your defense options for your case involving any of the following:

  • First-time DUI charges
  • Driving under the influence of drugs
  • DUI in a case that included an accident or injuries
  • Felony DUI charges
  • Manslaughter charges after a fatal accident when you had drugs or alcohol in your body
  • Federal DUI charges when you were arrested while driving on federal property
  • Invalid field sobriety tests

Prosecution and defense of vehicular manslaughter and DUI with injuries rely heavily on medical and scientific reviews of the evidence. We are confident that we can uncover defenses for your benefit that others might fail to recognize. We will take the time to answer your questions and explain your constitutional rights in terms you understand.

Our Team Approach To Protecting Your Rights

A close review of the facts in your case and the law allows us to identify effective defenses. Having two sets of eyes review your case means we will miss nothing. If the basis of the traffic stop was questionable, we could argue that the DUI stop was unlawful in the first place. Other factors in your favor may include evidence of faulty testing equipment that skews breath or blood test results, police misconduct and excessive or unnecessary force.

In addition to DUI defense, we can assist you or your family member who is struggling with substance abuse through a Marchman Act petition.
