OVERALL RESULTS FOR 2014
(as of October):
For cases with breath alcohol levels below .15, drugs, or refusals,
93% avoided a DUI conviction!
The following is an update of all of my Tampa DUI case results for 2014. Unlike other firms who only list the cases they’ve won, I didn’t want to hide anything, so I’ve pulled back the curtain and revealed every case I’ve handled in Tampa since I launched this website. (Of the 13 cases with breath level over .15 – NONE of them pled guilty as charged, and 23% of them avoided )
One thing you’ll notice is that there aren’t a ton of cases listed. There’s a reason for this. I don’t run a “volume practice,” where I churn and burn cases as quickly as possible. Instead, I limit the number of people I help to a very small, manageable number. By only handling a limited number of DUI cases at any given time, it means that I’ll always know who you are when you call, and I’ll always know what’s happening with your case. You won’t be treated like a case number or a court file – you’ll be given the respect you deserve.
Obviously, I didn’t want to embarrass any past clients (just like you wouldn’t want to be embarrassed), so I have removed any identifying information from the results, including names and case numbers. Each case just contains a quick summary of the facts and the result. If you want to verify any results with the Hillsborough County Clerk’s Office, please call me and I’ll be happy to confidentially provide you with case numbers and citation numbers.
