For most traffic citations, clients never have to miss work or appear in court, as the firm handles all proceedings directly.
Assertive DUI Defense and Administrative Hearings
Driving under the influence convictions in Florida carry mandatory penalties, including license suspension, substantial fines, community service, and potential jail sentences. Operating as experienced dui/dwi defense lawyers, Somera & Associates investigates every detail of the roadside encounter. The attorneys analyze whether law enforcement possessed reasonable suspicion for the stop along University Drive or neighboring thoroughfares, challenge the reliability of field sobriety testing, and contest breath test results. They also represent drivers during formal review hearings before the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to contest administrative suspensions.

Beyond traffic violations, the practice serves as dedicated criminal defense lawyers across South Florida. As knowledgeable drug crime defense lawyers, the firm represents clients facing possession of controlled substances and prescription medication offenses.
