Strong, Aggressive and Thorough Defense

Our law firm handles first offense DUI and felony DUI cases for adults and juveniles, including tourists, throughout the Central Gulf Coast of Florida.

From the first meeting, Hubbell C. Losson is already preparing a defense to your DUI charge.

Some of the issues that Hubbell Losson will look into are:

• Was the traffic stop valid?
• Were the field sobriety tests handled appropriately?
• Does the police video showing your stop, arrest and questioning measure up?
• Were you coerced into admitting guilt?
• Were you read your rights before being interrogated while in custody?

All these factors are taken into account as Mr. Losson builds a strong defense case.

Should I Submit to the Breathalyzer Test?

By the time you have read this, you probably made your decision to submit to the test or to refuse the breath test. I have defended people who have done both. The following is helpful for you to know if you have been arrested for DUI.

• If you refuse the breathalyzer your license will be suspended for one year or for a period of 18 months if your drivers license has been previously suspended as a result of a refusal to submit to a breath test
• If you submit to the breath test and blow a .08 blood alcohol level then your license will be suspended for six months for a first offense or for a period of one year if your driving privilege has been previously suspended for DUI.

Can I challenge my suspension for DUI?

You can challenge the administrative suspension for refusing the breath test and for blowing over the legal limit but you must do so within 10 days of your arrest.

Call the Law Office of Hubbell C. Losson so that I can set an administrative review hearing and challenge your driver’s license suspension.
