When it comes to defending a DUI case in Tampa, experience matters. Would you rather have a DUI attorney in Tampa that has only ever been a defense lawyer, or would you rather have a DUI attorney who worked in law enforcement and administered Field Sobriety Tests? Would you also rather have a former Assistant State Attorney? At Franchi Law, you DUI Defense Team includes both.
If you have been charged with a DUI in Tampa, you need an experienced DUI defense attorney. You need someone who will develop a strong plan to defend your Tampa DUI case. Penalties for DUI in Tampa can be anywhere from probation to jail time. There are usually heavy fines and conditions for a DUI conviction in Tampa.

Prior DUI convictions can complicate matters and increase the penalties you face. A DUI conviction in Tampa can possibly have implications on your current or future employment.
When defending a DUI case in Tampa, we look at several different parts of the arrest. We start with the stop. We analyze if the basis for the DUI stop were valid, and therefore legal. Next, we look at whether the Field Sobriety Tests were administered properly. Lastly, we look at the breath test.
At Franchi Law, we will give you our honest opinion of the strength of your case based on the factors described above.
These factors are so important in evaluating a Tampa DUI case because driving is considered to be a task that is both cognitive and physical. The theory goes that if you are intoxicated, you can complete a cognitive task or a physical task, but not a task that is both cognitive and physical at the same time. This is the basis for the Field Sobriety Tests. Attorney, William Franchi, has many years of experience of administering these tests, so he knows what law enforcement is looking for when he watches the DUI videos for clients.
Should I Handle My Tampa DUI Case on My Own or Hire a DUI Lawyer
