The evidence may include the traffic stop, officer observations, field sobriety exercises, breath or blood test results, available video, witness statements, and other details surrounding what happened.

Meet Elena Blose
For me, criminal defense has never been about simply moving a case from one court date to the next. I’ve spent 14 years practicing criminal defense, including 10 years as a public defender, handling everything from DUI and domestic violence cases to serious felonies and white-collar matters.
Every case is different. I want to hear your side of the story, understand what’s at stake for you, review the evidence, pinpoint the weaknesses, and identify where we might have an opportunity to make a difference.
I’m fully committed to my cases and my clients. I want you to understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what’s going to happen next.
Still have questions about what you're facing?
What should I do after being arrested or charged with a DUI?
CALL ELENA BLOSE!
A DUI can involve both the criminal case and separate issues involving your driving privileges. The circumstances of the stop, officer observations, testing, statements, and available video may all be important. Getting your case reviewed early can help you understand what you’re facing and what steps may need attention.
What happens if I refused a breath test when stopped by the police?
Refusing a breath test can have consequences beyond the underlying DUI case. Depending on the circumstances and your prior history, a refusal may result in an additional suspension of your driving privileges. Under a new Florida law, a refusal can also constitute a separate criminal charge in and of itself. Because the consequences depend on the specific facts of your case, it is important to have the circumstances surrounding the refusal reviewed by an attorney.
What happens if I’m caught driving with a suspended license?
The consequences depend on the circumstances, including whether you knew your license was suspended and whether you have prior offenses. In Florida, driving while knowingly suspended can be a criminal charge, and repeat offenses can carry more serious consequences.
What happens if I’m charged with leaving the scene of an accident?
The consequences depend heavily on what happened in the crash, including whether there was property damage, injury, or death. Leaving the scene is treated as a criminal traffic offense in Florida, and cases involving injuries or death can carry substantially more serious consequences.
How serious is a fleeing and eluding charge?
Fleeing and eluding is a felony offense in Florida, and there are several different degrees of the charge depending on the circumstances. The penalties become significantly more severe when allegations involve high-speed or reckless driving, serious injury, or death. A fleeing and eluding conviction also carries a mandatory adjudication of guilt and driver’s license revocation, making the consequences different from many other criminal traffic offenses.
Can a DUI or driving charge be reduced or dismissed?
It can depend on the facts, the evidence, the specific charge, and the circumstances surrounding the case. A defense attorney can review what happened, evaluate the evidence against you, and explain what options may be available in your particular situation.
How soon should I contact a defense attorney?
IMMEDIATELY.
DUI and driving cases can involve evidence that needs to be reviewed and, in some DUI cases, separate deadlines involving your driving privileges. Speaking with an attorney early can help you understand what requires immediate attention and what comes next.
Can I still drive after being arrested for a DUI?
A DUI arrest can result in the suspension of your driver’s license, but that does not necessarily mean you will be unable to drive for the entire suspension period. Depending on your circumstances and eligibility, you may be able to obtain a hardship license that allows you to drive for certain necessary purposes. The requirements and timing vary, so it is important to determine what options are available in your particular situation.
