Did you get a DUI over the holidays? Hire an attorney with extensive trial experience. Keeley Karatinos has successfully defended (=Not Guilty jury verdicts) DUI cases from simple DUI/BUI, DUI with property damage, DUI with serious bodily injury, and DUI manslaughters.

Keeley teaches other attorneys how to defend DUI Cases in the Florida Bar's Masters of DUI, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys DUI Seminar- Blood Breath & Tears, the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers Advanced OVI Defense Seminar, and the DUI Defense Lawyers Association.

Keeley invests her extra time by taking advanced courses in gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and forensic drug analysis with the Forensic Lawyer-Scientist Program at Axion Labs, to ensure the State's scientific evidence is used legitimately and to expose flawed lab practices to create strong legal strategies.

Keeley will be the Co-Course Director of this year's Experts in DUI, put on by the Florida Bar, and is a member of the Board of Directors for DUIDLA. She strives to continuously increase her knowledge and refine her trial skills to defend people accused of DUI when they weren't impaired.

Drinking and Driving is not against the law- that's just government propaganda. What IS against the law is driving under the influence of alcohol to the extent that a person's normal faculties are impaired, or their breath or blood alcohol content is scientifically proven (on scientifically reliable equipment, administered in a scientifically reliable way) to be over the limit. The burden of proof is on the State, because we are all innocent until PROVEN guilty beyond a reasonable doubt a trial.

Keeley takes the responsibility of defending her clients seriously. She knows the havoc a DUI charge can wreak on a person and their family. The best way to deal with a criminal charge is talking to an aggressive attorney who doesn’t just talk the talk, but walks the talk. Experience matters, mindset matters.

Keeley Karatinos represented a man accused of Aggravated Battery Causing Great Bodily Harm with a Weapon. From the beginning, Keeley knew he was not guilty because he was justified in defending himself.

After 4 days of trial, countless hours of grueling cross examination of the State’s star witnesses to show their motives to lie, changing stories, and general disregard for the truth, the jury came back with its verdict:

Not Guilty

We thank the jury for its care and attention in this case. Justice was achieved today.

To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Hire an attorney who has a track record of fighting government overreach.
