Fighting the DUI Refusal to Submit to a Breath, Blood or Urine Test

St. Petersburg DUI Refusal Attorney

If you have been arrested for DUI that involves an alleged refusal to submit to a chemical test of your blood, breath or urine, then contact an experienced St. Petersburg DUI defense attorney at the Morris Law Firm to fight a prosecution in Clearwater, Pinellas County, FL, or the surrounding areas including Bradenton in Manatee County, Sarasota in Sarasota County, Tampa in Hillsborough County, and New Port Richey or Dade City in Pasco County.

If you refused to take the chemical test of your breath, blood or urine, the prosecutor will be without their favorite piece of evidence - the results of a chemical test showing the driver was over the legal limit of 0.08 or that certain drugs were in the driver's system. In many of these cases, a DUI conviction can be avoided by aggressively fighting the charges.

Although Florida law provides for certain administrative penalties that effect your Florida driver's license for the first refusal to submit to a chemical test of your breath, blood or urine, no driver is required to take the test. In many cases, the prosecutor will seek to use the fact that you refused (or declined the officer's request to take a chemical test) as an indication that you did so because you knew you were guilty of DUI. Called the "consciousness of guilty" argument, your defense attorney can argue other reasons why the refusal occurred that have nothing to do with being believing you were guilty of DUI.
