Improved referral system will make it faster and easier for visitors to find the skilled lawyers who can best represent their interests, Tampa DUI Lawyer reports

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/29/2015 -- Tampa DUI Lawyer, a top online destination for those facing driving under the influence charges in the state, announced the availability of an upgraded attorney matching service. Building on the industry-leading, highly regarded attorney referral tool that Tampa DUI Lawyer has offered to visitors since launching, the new system will provide even quicker and more useful matches. Because penalties for Driving under-the-influence in Florida are so stiff and significant, even for first-time offenders, it is of the utmost importance that those facing charges seek legal counsel, and Tampa DUI Lawyer's newly upgraded tool is one of the simplest and most effective ways of finding an expert lawyer.

"More than 50,000 DUI citations are issued in the state of Florida annually," Tampa DUI Lawyer representative James Lawson reported, "with over 2,000 in the average year in Hillsborough County alone. Florida's implied consent DUI testing laws and stiff penalties mean that even first-time offenders can easily lose their driving privileges, a problem that can snowball into highly negative long-term consequences. If you are arrested get help now. Our newly upgraded attorney referral tool will make this easier than ever and give you a fighting chance."

Those facing DUI charges in Florida can expect fines ranging from $500 on up, if convicted, with court fees, community service obligations, and other add-ons inflating the real costs further. Serial offenders may be fined thousands of dollars, and jail sentences are mandated by state law for those who fall afoul of the laws in this way a fourth time.

Some who find themselves facing such charges either attempt to fight them on their own or wait too long to retain counsel, diminishing their chances of a successful outcome as they delay. Drinking and driving defense lawyers are invariably far better positioned than clients acting pro bono to discover faults and weaknesses in the government's case, and these issues can easily mean the difference between fines, loss of driving privileges, and jail time, on the one hand, and an acquittal, on the other. With more than 30% of those who are arrested in the state every year ultimately escaping conviction of DUI charges, this is clearly a battle worth fighting.

Since the site's founding, Tampa DUI Lawyer has helped countless site visitors acquire the legal representation that will give them the best chance of beating their own DUI charges. The site offers a broad selection of well-researched articles that go into the details surrounding DUI in Florida, and in Hillsborough county in particular, helping drivers understand what their responsibilities are and the penalties they may face if arrested. A simple, powerful attorney matching tool on the site also makes it as easy as possible for site visitors to get in touch with skilled Tampa DUI lawyers who are ready to take on their cases.

That service has now been upgraded, offering even faster and more convenient access to the legal representation that site visitors so often benefit from.

Legal representation is needed for anyone who finds they are charged with this serious crime as the consequences tend to be very severe, reports Tampa DUI Lawyer

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/15/2014 -- No individual remains exempt from a DUI charge in the state of Florida, as seen by the recent arrest of a police officer for driving under the influence. Anton Neil Lipski was arrested on October 23, 2014 on a misdemeanor charge, registering more than twice the legal limit for his blood alcohol level. As with any citizen charged with this crime, Mr. Lipski required the assistance of a Tampa DUI lawyer. Many who find they are in this situation turn to Tampe DUI Lawyer (best-tampa-dui-lawyer.com) for assistance, as they don't understand the law as thoroughly as this police officer did.

"Individuals who turn to Tampa DUI Lawyer do so to learn more about DUI charges in the state. Florida considers this crime to be very serious, even for those who are a first time offender. Most associate a DUI with alcohol, yet this charge applies anytime a substance is used that impairs a person's ability to operate motor vehicles, including boats. See http:// best-tampa-dui-lawyer.com/dui-lawyers-tampa/ for information on how they determine if an individual should be charged with this crime," James Lawson, spokesperson for Tampa DUI Lawyer, suggests.

Individuals must also be aware that a DUI charge actually involves two separate cases. In addition to the case being prosecuted by the state, the accused also faces administrative action by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Each case carries its own penalties, and all can be disruptive to one's everyday life, leading to hardship. An experienced DUI attorney in the state works to minimize the consequences of the DUI charge.

Individuals in a position of authority and those driving a company vehicle are most at risk when charged with this crime. The conviction not only affects the person's driving ability, but also their professional reputation. This can lead to the loss of employment, one's professional license, and more. The attorney works to ensure this doesn't happen, Lawson explains.

Penalties vary based on the facts of the case. The skill of the attorney also plays a role in the penalties imposed, which highlights the importance of a skilled attorney, one who has handled cases of this type in the past. As the state imposes a ten day deadline for a hearing request to contest the administrative suspension of one's driver's license, time is of the essence.

"Contact Tampa DUI Lawyer immediately upon being charged with this serious crime. The sooner representation is in place, the sooner the process can begin. The right attorney can help to extend the accused's right to drive for a number of weeks, while working to obtain a hardship license for the defendant. In addition, he or she begins preparing the defense most likely to lead to a reduction of the charges or the dismissal of the case. Obtain an attorney today for the best results," Lawson strongly recommends.

Best-Tampa-DUI-Lawyer.com offers solid advice for those accused of DUI and stresses the need to 'lawyer up' immediately

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2014 -- Statistics show DUI cases represent the single largest sector of criminal infractions of all forms of reported cases, with about 200,000 more cases processed each year than all theft and larceny offenses put together. In fact, almost two million drunk driving cases are filed by police officers around the country annually, taking up a giant chunk of the criminal docket in a number of court systems. Because the penalties for drunk driving have grown stricter, often those charged with DUI must seriously consider alternatives to pleading guilty or nolo contendere. To help them, they also seriously need an attorney on their side.

With this in mind, a new website (http://best-tampa-dui-lawyer.com/) has been launched to help those looking for a DUI lawyer and those who want to do more research about the possibility of defense without a lawyer. Says James Lawson, spokesperson for the site, "There are a number of myths about the ease of defending yourself and wisdom of defending yourself or simply pleading guilty if your blood count is over a certain level. We set up this website (http://best-tampa-dui-lawyer.com/tampa-dui-attorney-defense/) to offer solid information to those considering a defense on their own. We wanted them to know the penalties they could face without hiring solid representation."

Lawson goes on to say, "When you get pulled over and arrested because you were intoxicated, it's imperative you hire an attorney right away. This is because hiring a DUI legal expert is the only way to get the help you need to have some control over how harsh the ramifications are for your actions. Once you get arrested for driving while intoxicated you run the risk of thousands of dollars in fines, hours of community service, and possible jail time."

The best defense, says Lawson is fast, expert representation. "Those facing DUI charges will benefit by being represented by a lawyer who has successfully handled many tough DUI cases in the Tampa and Hillsborough County area."

The website (http://best-tampa-dui-lawyer.com/dui-lawyers-tampa/) recently set up allows individuals to enter information for a free case evaluation. Lawson explains, saying, "It's important to find out as soon as possible how you can stay out of jail, reduce cost and penalties. We provide a phone number you can call or we can get in touch with you. But the most important part is to get all of your questions answered as soon as possible."
