If you are arrested for driving under the influence, a defense attorney who can aggressively fight the charges you face is the most effective way of avoiding the harsh penalties that come with a DUI conviction.

Gainesville DUI defense attorney Robert G. Whittel offers many ways to fight your drunk driving charges:

  • Scheduling your DMV hearing and representing you at the hearing to help you get your driver's license back.
  • Contesting the validity of chemical tests used to determine your blood alcohol concentration.
  • Proving that a blood or breath test was administered improperly.
  • Proving that the officer did not have reasonable cause to pull you over in the first place.
  • Showing evidence that your rights were violated at some point during the traffic stop or your arrest.
  • Negotiating with the prosecution to help you receive lessened charges.
  • In the case of a 2nd or subsequent DUI arrest, challenging the validity of prior DUI convictions.
  • Conducting a thorough investigation of your unique case to create a tailor-made plan of action.
