The client was driving his vehicle in the area of West Linbaugh Avenue when he rear ended another motorist. Shortly after the accident a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Deputy reported to the scene. Our client had been drinking heavily at a local bar before crashing into the other vehicle at a stoplight. When law enforcement arrived our client was standing outside the driver's side of his vehicle. He was asked to perform field sobriety tests, but was unable to complete them. He was arrested for his second DUI within a 5 year period and transported to the Orient Road Jail. After arriving at the jail he consented to the breathalyzer and blew .217 and .226. The legal limit in the State of Florida is .08. Get more details on how the tampa DUI attorney prevented the client from having to suffer through the following sanctions:

1) pleading to the DUI charge (charge reduced to reckless driving)
2) a mandatory jail sentence,
3) a five year suspension of his driver's license,
4) and a $1,000.00 fine
