Santa Rosa DUI & BUI Attorneys & Lawyers

Most Santa Rosa County DUI & BUI defense lawyers are not specialists in Criminal Trial Law. DUI Defense Attorney Stephen G. Cobb is certified by the Florida Bar Association as a Specialist in Criminal Trial Law.

You also need to know that that there is no such thing as a certified DUI and/or BUI specialist: There are only two specializations: Florida Criminal Trial Law and Florida Criminal Appellate Law. Both of these specializations are part of the Florida Bar Association's Board Certification program.  What exactly is FL Bar Board Certification? According to the Florida Bar Association: "Board Certification is the highest level of recognition by the Florida Bar."

Santa Rosa County, FL: Before you go to the courthouse for your DUI or BUI case

The first step in the process of helping you defend your Santa Rosa DUI or BUI case, will be to speak with Mr. Cobb's assistant, Ms. Janice Richardson. She will prepare a very detailed report for Mr. Cobb about the facts and circumstances surrounding your DUI or BUI case. Next, Mr. Cobb will review this detailed report, and consult with you about your DUI or BUI case at no charge. Everything from potential defenses to potential penalties will be covered, as well as a discussion of strategy and tactics.

Some of the other areas which will be addressed are unique: As a proven leader in the field of DUI defense, and as a Florida Bar Certified Expert in Criminal Trial Law, Mr. Cobb uses techniques other defense lawyers are not using yet. For example:

* Advanced Stress Management: DUI cases keep people up at night, worry them greatly, and cause them to surf the Internet constantly searching for a shred of hope. This can hurt your case terribly, and lead to greatly increased punishment. You cannot afford to step into a courtroom stressed out: If you were to testify at a pre trial motion hearing and your voice and appearance full of stress, you could lose due to stress alone. The same is true if you were to exercise your right to testify at trial - you don't have to, but if you do, your stress must be under control.

* Advance Information Communication: Most DUI and BUI defense attorneys have you sit in an office and vomit out your story - there are gentler ways to describe it, but this is really what happens. It is also one of the most dangerous ways to gather evidence: DUI clients feel better initially, but critical information gets lost. We have a program to gather your side of the story, evidence that we need from you, that is far more effective than the "Vomit and Feel Good in the short term" approach.

These two things alone mean that you will be asked to play an active role in your DUI or BUI case. We have proven protocols for every aspect of your DUI case - from the driver's license review hearing to trial by jury.
