How Can You Find a Hillsborough County DUI Attorney?

DUI cases require an understanding of the law, but also knowledge of the science behind chemical testing. At Katz & Phillips, P.A., our attorneys have dedicated their careers to DUI defense- but we are also former prosecutors and experts in the INTOXILYZER breath test so we know how to fight the evidence the prosecutor will use to try to convict. You deserve to have a lawyer with the strongest possible background in DUI cases when you fight charges.

To find a lawyer with experience, look for an attorney who is a Board Certified Specialist in DUI defense law, and for lawyers who are members of the National College for DUI Defense. At Katz & Phillips, P.A., our attorneys have all of these credentials and more. We bring extensive legal knowledge and experience in drunk driving cases to your defense team.

What Should I Do if I’m Charged With DUI in Hillsborough

After a DUI arrest in Florida, you have 10 days to request a hearing to avoid an automatic suspension of your driver’s license. You also have to decide how to plead to the charges you face.

The options available to you for responding to charges will vary based on many factors including when and how police stopped you, what evidence was obtained against you, and whether you have a criminal past.  You could:

  • Try to get the judge to throw out evidence if your rights were violated, which could lead to charges being dropped.
  • Try to enter a pretrial diversion program, or attempt to negotiate a plea to reduce the charges against you or to get a lesser penalty.
  • Go to court to plead not guilty and try to make it so a prosecutor can’t prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Many DUI defendants don’t know which option is best. At Katz & Phillips, P.A., our attorneys are available any time to help you request your hearing, fight for your license, and make decisions on a plea deal or defense strategy. For example, we have a good idea of how to challenge arrests made at DUI checkpoints in Hillsborough County.
