About Your Case

Continuing the Legacy of DUI Sarasota

When you're facing a DUI charge or any alcohol-related driving offense in Florida, the legal and personal repercussions can feel overwhelming. At The Law Place, we're proud to carry on Thomas Hudson's legacy, formerly of DUI Sarasota, by delivering the same level of dedication, skill, and client-focused advocacy that he was known for.

Our attorneys stand on decades of combined experience in DUI defense, bringing advanced knowledge in forensic toxicology, field sobriety testing, and DUI defense science. Whether it's your first offense or you're facing multiple prior convictions, our team understands the complexities of Florida law and the high stakes you're up against.

Why Choose The Law Place?

1. 75+ Years of Combined Experience

Our legal team is built on a solid foundation of expertise, including criminal defense, prosecution, and forensic analysis backgrounds. We know how the State of Florida constructs DUI cases, and we use that insight to anticipate strategies and craft a strong defense on your behalf.

2. Board-Certified Excellence

Our roster features Board-Certified lawyers, a distinction that reflects in-depth legal knowledge, high ethical standards, and rigorous testing in criminal trial law. This certification is a testament to our commitment to staying at the forefront of DUI defense.

3. Team-Based Approach

While many firms assign a single lawyer to a case, we believe in the power of collaboration. Each DUI case we handle is reviewed by multiple attorneys, ensuring that we uncover every detail, explore all defense strategies, and leave no stone unturned in safeguarding your rights.

4. Round-the-Clock Availability

DUI cases can unfold quickly and often involve time-sensitive decisions, such as requesting a formal review hearing within 10 days of your arrest. That's why we offer 24/7 support, allowing you to reach us whenever questions or urgent concerns arise.

  3. Customized Defense Strategy

    • Each DUI case is unique. We tailor our strategies to your specific circumstances, potentially challenging field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, or probable cause for the stop.

    • If necessary, we also consult forensic experts and toxicologists to address testing inaccuracies or medical conditions that could mimic impairment.

  4. Assertive Negotiation & Litigation

    • We aim to negotiate reductions or dismissals of charges where possible, leveraging our former prosecutor experience.

    • When a trial is in your best interest, we're fully prepared to litigate aggressively, presenting a well-researched and compelling defense.

  5. Transparent Communication

    • We keep you informed at every stage, explaining legal developments, court hearings, and paperwork.
