I get it all the time. What do I do if I get pulled over and I've been drinking? Should I refuse to take the test? Should I take the test? Should I submit to the field sobriety tests?

In Florida, you're not required to do anything. The police officer is going to ask you to take the field sobriety test, they're going to ask you to take a breathalyzer, but you are not required to do anything and you do have a constitutional right to refuse those.
If you DO refuse to take the breath test, you WILL be subject to a potential one-year driver's license suspension. You are eligible to challenge that suspension and apply for a hardship license during that period. But, that one-year suspension will go into place, if you refuse to take the breath, test 10 days after your arrest.
Give us a call. We'll take a look at your case, see what we can do for you, get you a hardship license, get you temporary permits, and keep you driving as often as we can.
