Attorney Jonathan Blecher

The State of Florida has some of the strictest drunk driving laws in the country. If you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI), you need to retain an attorney who has the experience to represent you effectively in court. I am a Miami DUI lawyer with more than 30 years of experience and am a specialist in the field of DUI. I understand the laws that affect your situation and I am prepared to offer the strong and effective defense you need.
