How a Former Prosecutor Can Defend Your DUI or Criminal Traffic Case in Miami-Dade, Florida

 

Direct Answer

 

If you are facing a DUI or criminal traffic charge in Miami-Dade, your defense should begin immediately with a proactive legal strategy. A former prosecutor like Attorney Yoel Molina brings a critical advantage—insight into how the State builds cases—allowing for early intervention, identification of weaknesses, and a defense focused on protecting your license, record, and future.

 

Understanding the Urgency: The 7-Day Rule

After a DUI arrest in Florida, you have only 7 days to request a formal review hearing to challenge your license suspension.

Failing to act means:

• Automatic license suspension
• Limited driving privileges
• Increased legal exposure

This administrative process is separate from the criminal case, making early legal action essential.

 

DUI in Florida: A Serious Criminal Charge

A DUI is not a simple ticket—it is a criminal offense.

• BAC ≥ 0.08%

 

First-Offense Consequences

• Fines ($500–$2,000)
• Up to 6 months in jail

• License suspension

Key DUI Defense Strategies

 

Illegal Stop

If the stop lacked legal justification, evidence may be suppressed.

 

Field Sobriety Tests

Highly subjective and often unreliable.

 

Breathalyzer Issues

Improper calibration or administration can invalidate results.

 

Procedural Errors

Violations of your rights can weaken the prosecution’s case.

 

Criminal Traffic Charges: Not Just Tickets

 

Certain traffic offenses are criminal and carry jail exposure.

 

Common Charges
