My client, without any prior criminal history was pulled over and eventually arrested for a criminal DUI and criminal Refusal offense.
For over 6 months, the State wouldn’t budge. They demanded the DUI conviction, notwithstanding my client’s lack of criminal history.
After pushing forward and making it clear we were prepared to litigate all the way through trial, the charge was reduced to a Wet Reckless, a significantly better outcome that protects my client’s future.
In Walton County, Florida, strategy, experience, and patience matters. And being willing to go to trial matters.
If you’re facing a DUI anywhere in Florida, don’t assume the first offer is the final answer. And know the rules have changed: refusing a breathalyzer is now itself a crime in Florida.
