Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Florida DUI (driving under the influence) charges do not only relate to alcohol. Although a far less common occurrence, a driver may face DUI charges involving drugs. Under Florida DUI law, it is unlawful for a driver to operate a motor vehicle while his or her normal faculties are impaired due to controlled substance.

Miami DUI lawyer Michael Mirer offers a free initial consultation if you or someone you know has been arrested for DUI involving drugs in or around the Miami area in South Florida. As an experienced former Miami-Dade prosecutor, attorney Mirer has a thorough understanding of how to address these criminal charges both in court and at DHSMV hearings in order to offer his clients the best opportunity at a positive case outcome.

There are actually various different ways to challenge the evidence in a Miami DUI of drugs case, and with his extensive knowledge and resources to experts in forensics, medicine and other related fields, DUI lawyer Michael Mirer can evaluate all aspects of your case to determine how to best address your charges. For example, was there a problem with or mistake made in the administration of a blood or urine test used to determine whether you had a controlled substance in your system? Were field sobriety tests conducted properly? Attorney Mirer can use circumstances such as these to file motions to suppress evidence or to otherwise positively affect your case and weaken the prosecution's evidence.
