Some Mistakes Can Be More Costly Than Others
All of us make mistakes. Hopefully, as we mature, we make fewer and fewer of them because we learn from the foolish mistakes of our adolescence. However, there are some mistakes that when we are caught making them can be much more costly than others. If your child has been arrested by Tampa law enforcement officers for DUI, it can be extremely costly indeed, not only financially but also in terms of possible jail time, potential future job opportunities, and the inability to drive a motor vehicle for an extended period of time. It is extremely important that you hire a Tampa DUI attorney for your child.
Most parents can give a list to anyone who will listen to all the stupid things their children have done. Most parents also hope that the list does not include drinking and driving. When it does include a DUI offense, however, all is not lost. While it is true that the consequences of such a charge for a minor can be extremely severe, it is not always the case that just because a minor was charged that a conviction will necessarily ensue.
As a parent, it is likely that you may be incredibly angry with your child for having gotten into this situation in the first place. But, it is also likely that as a parent, you will want to protect your child and make sure that your child’s rights are fully and completely protected. You may also have some questions or concerns regarding why your child was stopped in the first place or whether some other factor besides alcohol could have led to the breathalyzer reading that the officer recorded. All of these are normal reactions, questions, and concerns. They are also easily addressed by a qualified Tamp DUI attorney.
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your child’s arrest, a Tampa DUI attorney has the means to fully investigate the incident and determine if there were any irregularities involved with the stop, chemical test, field sobriety tests, or the arresting officer’s report. An experienced DUI attorney can also determine whether or not any medical conditions may have led to an inaccurate reading on chemical tests or whether the officer administered the test incorrectly.
