Smart DUI Defense
Punishment for a first offense DUI conviction is less severe in Brevard County than in many Florida counties. However, any future convictions for drunk driving or driving on a suspended license — or even non-driving offenses such as possession of marijuana or theft — may be punished more harshly with a DUI on your record.
Patrick Barbary is a former Brevard County prosecutor with 15 years of experience in criminal law. He makes every effort to avoid jail time and a conviction by (a) pleading DUI cases to reckless driving or (b) fighting the charges at trial. Mr. Barbary examines all evidence: breath or urine tests, squad car video, roadside sobriety tests and the officer's reason for the initial stop. This prompt and thorough investigation before charges are filed — things inexperienced attorneys don't know to do — can make all the difference if you are facing jail, revocation and other consequences of a felony DUI.
License Suspension
Brevard County is 100 miles long — you need a car to get around. From the date of your DUI/DWI arrest, you have 10 days to request a DMV hearing or your license will be automatically suspended. We have been successful in challenging suspension, or helping clients obtain a hardship license after 30 days to drive to work.
