Attorneys at the Law Offices of Richard W. Springer are experienced challenging the legality of your arrest and frequently file motions to suppress evidence. They ask all the right questions:

  • Were the initial stop and subsequent arrest properly made?

  • Did the arresting officers advise you of your rights?

The criminal defense lawyers at the Law Offices of Richard W. Springer P.A. work to protect your rights.

Many lawyers tell DUI and traffic violation clients they should plead guilty and hope for leniency or a lucky break. We take cases to court and battle for a positive outcome.

The firm also handles a variety of DUI and alcohol-related cases including:

  • Underage drinking
  • DUI manslaughter
  • Boating under the influence (BUI)
  • Driving under a suspended license (DUS)

If you are charged with a DUI, you need a lawyer who is capable of trying a case and intends to try it if it necessary. Under Florida law, a judge cannot withhold adjudication of a DUI to keep the conviction off the driver's record and the case cannot be negotiated to a lesser offense simply because there is no lesser level of DUI in Florida such as there is with other crimes.

Call the firm as soon as possible with your DUI or traffic violation case

Breath test refusal — or any chemical test refusal (blood, breath or urine test) — can result in an automatic suspension of your driver's license unless you act now. Likewise, if your Blood Alcohol Test results are .08 percent or higher, you could face automatic license suspension. When arrested for drunk driving, you must request an administrative hearing with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles in order to challenge the suspension. Otherwise, your license will be suspended for a period of 6-18 months. This administrative hearing is separate from any criminal case against you and must be addressed immediately to avoid losing your driving privileges.
