Criminal Defense Lawyers - DUI, Boating Under the Influence,  Drug Possession

Were you arrested and charged with a crime? Being arrested can be a frightening, confusing experience. The consequences can range from acute embarrassment to loss of freedom.

At the Florida Keys and South Florida law firm of Hershoff, Lupino & Yagel, LLP, we have experience guiding residents and visitors through the criminal justice system. We handle all different misdemeanors and felonies including:

• DUI 
• BUI (boating under the influence)
• Probation violation
• Drug possession (marijuana, cocaine, illegal prescription drugs, drug paraphernalia)
• Assaults
• Domestic violence
• Driving with suspended license
• Vessel groundings

When charged with DUI, the driver's license is taken away. Within 10 days, an administrative review hearing can be scheduled for a temporary license. The chances for a hardship license are affected by the circumstances of the arrest - test refusal, test results, number of offenses.

Our DUI defense attorneys understand the law. We can help you through the complex laws and sentencing structures that govern DUI charges. If you are from out of state, our DUI lawyers can handle everything for you in absentia except for trial. Most probation can be served in your home state.

BUI (boating under the influence) charges will not affect your driving privileges, but it may affect a captain's license. You may be required to take boating safety courses.

Whatever you are charged with, the criminal defense lawyers at Hershoff, Lupino & Yagel have the experience and legal knowledge to listen to the circumstances, investigate the charges, and advise you of your options. Where there are mitigating circumstances or improper law enforcement tactics, we will make sure your rights and interests are protected.

The experienced South Florida lawyers at Hershoff, Lupino & Yagel, LLP, represent clients throughout Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties, including Key Largo, Tavernier, Plantation Key, Islamorada, Marathon and Key West.
