Martin County DUI Lawyer

Most people do not think that they will be stopped by law enforcement when they make the decision to drive while under the influence. However, law enforcement is always on the lookout for unsafe drivers, including those that may be driving drunk or under the influence of drugs. If you are under investigation, formally charged and/or have been arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) in Martin County, Florida, please protect your future by contacting the Law Offices of David Golden, P.A. today.

When stopped and suspected of DUI law enforcement may ask a person to perform one or more field sobriety tests, a breathalyzer test, blood test and/or urine test. DUI is charged when a person driving a motor vehicle has a BAC (blood alcohol content) at or above 0.08%. However, when a person is under the age of 21 or a commercial vehicle driver, they can face driving under the influence charges with an even lower blood alcohol level. DUI may also be charged when a person fails a field sobriety test or if the arresting officer has reason to believe that a person is intoxicated.

Under the Florida Implied Consent Law a person with a driver’s license has already given prior permission to a breath and/or blood test. Failure to comply may result in an immediate DUI arrest as well as driver’s license suspension.
