Arrested for DUI? The clock is already running.
In Florida, you generally have 10 days to act to protect your license. This firm has handled 1,400+ DUI cases, and the calls we can help most are the ones that come early.
DUI is where we try the most cases, and win them
Most DUI defendants are ordinary people who made one mistake, many of them first-time offenders. Prosecutors count on those people pleading fast. We don’t work that way.
DUI cases are technical: the reason for the stop, how the field sobriety exercises were run, whether the breath test machine was maintained and operated correctly, whether your rights were read when they had to be. When the rules get broken, evidence gets thrown out, and cases collapse.
Both attorneys try DUI cases regularly: 1,400+ DUI cases handled between them, and Mason’s trial record is built substantially on them. That reputation follows us into every negotiation.
Call within the first days
The 10-day license window and fresh evidence make early calls the most valuable.
We pull everything
Dash and body cam, breath machine logs, maintenance records, the officer’s history.
Then we press
Suppression motions, reductions, and if it serves you, trial. You decide with full information.
Every kind of DUI case
- First-time DUI
- Second and subsequent DUI
- Breath test refusals
- DUI with property damage or injury
- DUI manslaughter
- BUI, boating under the influence
- Underage and student DUI
- License suspension hearings
DUI questions we hear at 2 a.m.
Your license is at risk immediately, and in Florida you generally have only 10 days after the arrest to act to protect your driving privileges. That deadline is the single biggest reason to call now rather than next week.
Yes, a conviction can mean fines, suspension, an ignition interlock, years of insurance pain, and a permanent record. But first-time cases also tend to have the most options. This is the call we handle every single week, often for students and professionals whose parents are the ones dialing.
No. Breath machines have maintenance schedules, operator requirements, and observation-period rules, and the stop itself must have been lawful. We have won NOT GUILTY verdicts in DUI trials where the state thought its numbers were bulletproof. Every case is different; past results don’t guarantee outcomes, but numbers alone don’t end a case.
A lawyer, always. What you say to police cannot be unsaid, and the consultation with us is free. Call (850) 444-7444, nights and weekends included, and let us do the talking.
DUI defense in Pensacola and across both counties
Escambia County DUI cases are heard at the M.C. Blanchard Judicial Building in downtown Pensacola; Santa Rosa County cases at the courthouse in Milton. We are in both buildings nearly every week, in front of the same judges and the same prosecutors, which means we know how each courtroom actually handles a DUI, from first appearance to trial.
In Florida, a DUI can be charged at a 0.08 breath-alcohol level, but the number on the machine is the start of the conversation, not the end of it. Whether you were stopped on Palafox, on Highway 98 in Gulf Breeze, or coming off Pensacola Beach, the same questions decide the case: why you were stopped, how the exercises were run, and whether the machine and its operator followed the rules.
We defend clients from every corner of both counties:
- Pensacola
- Milton
- Pace
- Gulf Breeze
- Navarre
- Cantonment
- Perdido Key
- Ferry Pass
- Ensley
- Jay
