Breath tests, urine tests, and blood draws all follow different legal rules. If you’re facing a DUI case in West Palm Beach or Palm Beach County, make sure you have a criminal defense attorney who understands the evidence and how it can be challenged.

Five things to avoid in any criminal case:

1. Talking to police without a lawyer
2. Consenting to a search
3. Posting about your case online

These mistakes can make your case harder to defend. If you’re facing criminal charges in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, or South Florida, speak with a criminal defense attorney before making your next move.

Florida criminal laws have changed, and most people do not realize how serious these updates are.

Breath test refusal after a DUI arrest can now lead to a criminal charge, dangerous excessive speeding can be charged when a driver is 50 mph over the limit or reaches 100 mph in a way that threatens safety, and Florida’s open carry landscape has changed after a 2025 court ruling.
