How to Pick a Warrior.

Why does your criminal law practice focus itself on DUI cases?

DUI Defense is not our hobby. Essentially, this is the bulk of what we do. Why? The legal, medical, and scientific complexities involved in a DUI defense are staggering, while the penalties for a DUI conviction in Florida continue to rise. The truth about DUI is that a conviction carries with it life-altering repercussions. The penalties for a misdemeanor DUI are even harsher than those for many Felony convictions.

When I was arrested, I was also ticketed for an improper lane change. Will you defend that charge as well?

Yes. We will defend you on any and all other offenses stemming from the DUI incident, including, speeding, possession of a controlled substance, firearm, or possession of an open container in a moving vehicle. We take care of everything associated with your DUI.

Following my arrest, I was thrown in jail for hours and treated like a criminal. Why?

In the eyes of our legal system, you are treated as a criminal because DUI is a criminal offense, a serious one. This is true even if you are typically a law-abiding, upstanding citizen. That is why it is essential to defeat this charge. A DUI conviction never goes away. It may come back to haunt you immediately or years down the the road.

Are there other law firms in South Florida that also focus their practice on DUI?

Yes, some of them are highly experienced and very, very good at what they do. There are also attorneys who practice general criminal defense in South Florida that are extremely well-versed and qualified to handle DUI. We encourage all our prospective clients to interview as many attorneys as possible before hiring. We would even be happy to refer you to another firm; one that we feel is capable to handle DUI, based upon their experience and reputation within the legal community. Just as every client is different, every attorney has their own style. You should feel absolutely comfortable before hiring anyone; use your common sense and be mindful of your budget. It's crucial that you understand the components of a DUI charge and how DUI makes its way through the South Florida court system.

Also, keep in mind that the decision to hire an attorney, any attorney, should never be based upon an advertisement or website alone, including this one.

So what makes your Firm different than the others?

We provide our Client's an extraordinary value for what they pay to defend a DUI charge and to get their driving privileges reinstated. We're one of the newest law firms in South Florida that was created to fill a void in the legal marketplace: A DUI practice that people can actually afford.

Our Firm maintains constant communication with our Client's throughout every phase of their case.

We also return phone calls with a sense of urgency.

What makes your Firm the same as the others that you would recommend?

We want what you want:

• Get your Florida Driver's License back.

• Beat the DUI charge.

So how exactly do you do that?

The legal defenses and resources we have at our disposal are both sweeping and powerful. The strategies we utilize vary greatly depending on the unique facts and circumstances of each particular case, including yours. It would be redundant to list all of the possible, or even probable, defenses here. Give us a call. Speak to Mr. Clemens directly. He would be happy to discuss with you, personally and confidentially , the potential defenses that can be used in your particular case. Our consultations are free.

Are there any “tricks” to avoiding a DUI?

Yes. Don't drive after consuming alcohol. It's that simple. While you'll find our fees extremely reasonable, ask anyone that's been charged with DUI how much they would have saved by calling a taxi; not to mention the very real possibility of causing injury or death to yourself or someone else.

I took a breath test and the results were not in my favor. Can the breath test be challenged?

Not only can the breath test be challenged, it can be beaten , and frequently is.

The breath test you took was likely produced by a machine branded and marketed under the name “Intoxilyzer 8000,” manufactured by the company CMI, Inc., located in Owensboro , Kentucky . This machine is challenged almost everyday in South Florida . Many engineers, doctors, scientists, and former law enforcement officials who are familiar with the internal workings of this machine consider the “Intoxilyzer” results to be “Junk Science.” Not to mention the litany of legal Administrative Regulations that Florida imposes on this machine. This includes, but is not limited to: proper calibration, maintenance, licensure, and accessibility to the machine; all of which our Firm will fully investigate and potentially challenge. We will ask the court to legally Suppress any and all breath test results obtained if the “Intoxilyzer” was not in conformance with these extensive Administrative Laws. Should the Court grant our Suppression, the results of your breath test can never be used against you at trial.

I'm on a tight budget and need to know how much you will charge to defend my DUI.

If this is the first time you've been charged with a DUI, and nobody or nothing was injured, we typically charge $3250.

In any case, should you hire our Firm, we require a minimum of $1000 up front. (Visa/Mastercard accepted). You can also apply your bond to our fee.

Then, based upon your income, we work together and design a payment plan that you can afford. You pay it off over time.

I don't have that kind of money, what now?

There are more than a handful of lawyers that will gladly take a DUI for less than $3,000.

So why not just go to them?

That's completely up to you. Remember, DUI is a very serious crime and is never to be taken half-heartedly. As you interview potential attorneys, ask lots of questions and trust your instincts before giving anyone your money. Believe it or not, some DUI defendants will pay an attorney thousands of dollars and ultimately get the same outcome that they could have received without an attorney.

We feel this is highly unethical. Call us for further explanation.
