Getting pulled over for a DUI in Tampa moves fast and most of what happens in those first few minutes gets decided before you ever speak to a lawyer. 🚔

The reality is, police don't always get it right. Pulling you over requires probable cause. Breathalyzers need proper calibration. And in Florida, a DUI conviction comes with real consequences, fines, jail time, and a license suspension that can follow you for months.

The good news? Every arrest has a weak point, and knowing where to look makes all the difference.

The first 24 hours after an arrest matter more than most people realize. ⏰

This is when key decisions get made. Decisions about bail, about what's said to police, and about whether evidence gets challenged early. Waiting too long to get legal guidance can mean losing options you didn't even know you had.

If you or someone you know has been arrested, the smartest move is getting answers before making any other moves.

The first 24 hours after an arrest are critical and most people don't realize it. What you say, who you call, and whether you have a defense team moving immediately can change everything. A strong defense doesn't start at trial.

It starts the moment you're in custody. Don't wait. 📞

Most DUI advice you’ve heard is outdated, and that gap can cost you. 🚨

Florida quietly changed the rules around breath test refusals. A second refusal isn’t just a license suspension anymore, it’s now a separate criminal offense on its own. Drivers are getting caught off guard because they don’t realize refusing can lead to an entirely new charge, on top of any DUI.

This isn’t about telling you what to do in the moment, it’s about making sure you understand what you’re actually facing under current Florida law. Knowing the law before a stop can change how you navigate everything that comes after.

Already facing a DUI or refusal charge? The clock is already ticking.

People see the courtroom. They don't see the hundreds of hours before it, the investigation, the legal research, the witness preparation, the motions filed and argued. Criminal defense is built long before trial ever begins. The work is what wins. 💼

Attorney Adriana Corso challenged Florida's new "Halo Law" in this case, arguing it raises serious First Amendment concerns around arbitrary enforcement. The judge ultimately dismissed all charges on the facts, finding that law enforcement never gave the required 25-foot warning before arresting our client, meaning she should never have been arrested in the first place.

We're proud of the outcome Attorney Corso secured for Ms. Zikry, but the broader constitutional questions surrounding this law's enforcement remain very much alive.

Our office represents Sandra Zikry, arrested last July during a Hillsborough County traffic stop after approaching a family member who had been pulled over. She faces three misdemeanor charges, including a violation of Florida's Halo Law.

We've filed a motion to dismiss, arguing the state cannot prove a crime occurred and that the law doesn't apply here, while also raising First Amendment issues about the law itself.
