Florida DUI Defense Lawyers
You Were Pulled Over. You Were Arrested. Now Every Decision Matters.
A Florida DUI case moves fast. You may be dealing with a suspended license, a court date, bond conditions, a vehicle impoundment issue, or questions about whether you should have taken a breath test. Florida law treats DUI as driving or being in actual physical control of a vehicle while impaired or with an unlawful blood-alcohol or breath-alcohol level.
Lopez Law Group helps clients cut through the noise and focus on what matters: the stop, the arrest, the testing, the video, the officer’s observations, and the state’s evidence.

DUI Defense Focus Areas
Real Defense Starts With the Details
DUI Arrests
A DUI arrest does not automatically mean a conviction. The state still has to prove its case. Lopez Law Group reviews the stop, arrest, testing, reports, video, and witness evidence.
Breath Test & Refusal Cases
Florida’s implied consent law can create serious license consequences after a refusal, and DHSMV rules may affect your ability to drive while the criminal case is pending.
First-Time DUI Charges
Even a first DUI can affect your license, insurance, employment, and record. Early legal guidance can help you understand your options before deadlines or court dates slip by.
Repeat DUI or Enhanced DUI Allegations
Prior DUI history, high breath results, crashes, minors in the vehicle, or alleged property damage can raise the stakes. These cases need careful review, not wishful thinking.

Should I hire a lawyer after a Florida DUI arrest?
You should consider speaking with a DUI attorney as soon as possible. A DUI case can involve both criminal court and driver’s license issues. An attorney can review the stop, arrest, testing, reports, video, and deadlines that may affect your case.
Can I be charged with DUI in Florida even if I was not driving?
Yes. Florida’s DUI statute applies to people driving or in “actual physical control” of a vehicle while impaired or with an unlawful alcohol level. That means the facts around where you were, where the keys were, and whether the vehicle could be operated may matter.
What happens if I refused a breath test in Florida?
A refusal can trigger administrative license consequences under Florida law. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles states that a first refusal can result in a one-year suspension, with longer consequences for later refusals.
