DUI

Clearwater DUI Offense Lawyer

In the state of Florida, the consequences of a DUI conviction are serious. Not only will your insurance rates increase, if you're convicted you'll have a permanent criminal record. If you drive for work you could lose your job. In terms of DUI penalties, you will likely be required to pay a heavy fine, have your licensed revoked for a period of time, and could face a jail sentence. At Joseph Montrone, Jr., P.A., Attorney at Law, in Clearwater, Florida, I devote a significant portion of my criminal law practice to DUI/DWI defense. I understand how to work with the court to reduce the charges and sentence against my client. In cases where a field sobriety test was conducted improperly or where a breathalyzer may not have been calibrated correctly, the evidence may be thrown out of court.

When clients visit me to discuss their concerns about driver's license suspensions, felony DUIs or refusing to take a breathalyzer, I provide honest answers and discuss what I can do to defend their DUI and the best possible resolution.

If you've been arrested for DUI, don't assume you can just plead guilty to make the problem go away. You need to understand what's involved and the options available to you to avoid jail or the loss of your license. To schedule a consultation to discuss your case, contact drunk driving defense lawyer Joseph Montrone, Jr. today.

Drunk Driving Charges - A Complex Matter to Defend

In addition to a criminal trial for a DUI/DWI defense case, an administrative suspension may occur with each arrest. Contesting this action in a timely matter is vital to maintaining your driving privileges. Moreover, successful convictions in a drunk driving case can carry serious penalties now and can also influence the severity of penalties for subsequent convictions.

Arrested for Drunk Driving - Negotiating on Your Behalf

When you visit my office to discuss your drunk driving case, I can apprise you of information critical to your ability to make wise decisions for the future. In addition, I will negotiate on your behalf, always seeking the best possible outcome.
