Fort Lauderdale Female DUI Lawyer
Defense for females charged with DUI in Fort Lauderdale
Though statistics indicate that many more men are charged with DUI than women, there are still many women each year in Florida who are convicted of drunk driving, and that number is on the rise. If you are a woman who has been charged with drunk driving, it is in your best interest to speak with a Fort Lauderdale DUI attorney who has experience handling female DUI cases.
Because women have different body compositions, lung capacity, alcohol absorption rates and body-water content levels as compared to men, breathalyzer tests are often inaccurate. This is because the device law enforcement agents use to detect breath alcohol levels, the Intoxilyzer 8000, works based on the science of the anatomy of the average male. Women are also different than men in the way they react to alcohol and in the way they deal with the stress that comes along with a DUI arrest. We at the Law Office of Lloyd H. Golburgh, P.A. understand these differences between men and women and tailor our defense and our communication accordingly.
