Tom Hudson has been teaching other lawyers to defend DUI cases for decades. The Hudson Law Office was established in Sarasota in 1996. Before that, Tom Hudson had practiced for 16 years in Cleveland, Ohio, first as a felony prosecutor, and later as a criminal defense lawyer. Our Key West office was opened in 1998. Beginning in 2003, Tom Hudson began focusing his criminal practice on the defense of DUI cases. He decided to go to school to learn what the police learn. He took the classes that police took. He became certified as an instructor to teach those classes and has actually taught DWI Detection and Field Sobriety Testing a number of times. Tom has been recommended by some of the best-known DUI lawyers in the country.

Active Duty Military DUI – Because we are in Florida, where there are a lot of military bases, we are often called upon to represent active duty members of our Armed Forces. If you are active-duty military, you need to know some important things about your DUI case. How your case is handled ordinarily depends on where the alleged violation occurs. If it is on-base, then it will be handled by military authorities. If it is off-base, it will normally proceed in civil court, although it is not impossible for a court-martial to occur as well, especially if there is an accident with property damage or injuries.

Boating Under the Influence in Florida – With over 1200 miles of beaches, Florida is a boater's paradise. But beware. A little afternoon sunshine and the smell of alcohol on your breath can land you in the hoosegow. As with Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is a serious crime in the Sunshine State. BUI arrests may be made by the Coast Guard, city police, or Fish and Wildlife officers. Regardless of the arresting agency, the case will be heard in the County Court where the alleged offense occurred. Learn more: https://www.duisarasota.com/BUI.htm

If you are wondering what it looks like during the age of COVID when we go to court for our clients via Zoom, here it is. We wait in line, and then consult via video with the judge and the prosecutor. We can get housekeeping issues resolved, such as discovery responses, decisions on depositions, and scheduling of the trial or negotiated plea on a particular case. There are still no trials happening.

And when Tom switches his camera off, to retrieve a document or to answer a phone call, our slide comes up with a gentle reminder of who we are and what we do.

Tom believes that this is merely force-feeding of the way that many of these court appearances will be handled in the future. Things will never be the same again. And we are trying to stay ahead of the technological curve.

What If I Have a Commercial Drivers License?

Florida DUI with a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) – Many Florida drivers have not just a standard non-commercial (Class E) drivers license, but rather a Commercial Drivers License (CDL). The basic rules about CDL's are established by Federal law, specifically Title 49 or the Code of Federal Regulations. (CFR) The states are charged with enforcing CDL law, but it is almost identical from state to state. If you are driving a commercial vehicle, you will be in violation of the law if your breath alcohol is over .04--one-half the alcohol concentration for noncommercial drivers.
