Protecting Your Driver's License: Traffic Ticket and Violation Defense
Florida utilizes a strict point system for traffic violations, and accumulating too many points within a specific timeframe will result in an automatic suspension of your driver's license. Many people make the mistake of simply paying their traffic tickets online, not realizing that paying a ticket is legally equivalent to pleading guilty, which automatically adds points to their driving record. The team at Somera and Associates, P.A. works tirelessly to prevent these negative outcomes. They handle a wide spectrum of traffic matters, including speeding tickets, reckless driving, failure to yield, running red lights, and driving with a suspended license.
By thoroughly reviewing police reports, questioning radar and laser calibration records, and identifying procedural errors made by law enforcement officers, the firm frequently succeeds in getting tickets dismissed altogether or having charges reduced to non-moving violations, keeping points off your record and protecting your insurance rates.
Professional DUI Defense and License Reinstatement Assistance
Driving under the influence (DUI) is a severe offense in Florida, carrying severe penalties that can include mandatory ignition interlock devices, high fines, probation, community service, and even jail time. Furthermore, a DUI arrest triggers an automatic administrative suspension of your driver's license by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) within just ten days of your arrest. Having a dedicated DUI defense lawyer on your side is critical to protecting both your freedom and your driving privileges.
The attorneys at Somera and Associates, P.A. understand the scientific and legal complexities of DUI cases. They evaluate the legality of the initial traffic stop, the reliability of field sobriety exercises, and the accuracy of breathalyzer or blood tests. They also represent clients in DHSMV administrative hearings to fight for hardship licenses, ensuring you can continue to commute to work, school, and medical appointments while your case is resolved.
Comprehensive Criminal Defense and Individualized Courtroom Advocacy
Beyond traffic tickets, the firm provides robust criminal defense representation for clients facing state misdemeanor and felony charges. From drug possession and domestic violence allegations to theft, fraud, and weapon offenses, they approach every criminal case with a detailed investigation and a custom-tailored strategy.
