DUI Defense

Protecting Your Rights and Looking Out for Your Interests

Experienced Pensacola DUI Defense Attorney

Being convicted of drunk driving can lead to jail time, fines and suspension or revocation of your driver's license. A conviction can also drastically raise your insurance rates and negatively affect child custody orders. At the Law Office of F.T. Ratchford, DUI Defense Attorney, we will work to protect all of your interests and minimize the negative consequences you are facing.

Our firm's founder, Attorney F. T. Ratchford, Jr., is one of the most experienced DUI defense lawyers in Northwestern Florida. Over the past 30 years, he has handled more than 7,000 cases and tried more than 1,000 DUI jury trials. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and will be honest and straightforward in explaining what to expect. Contact us to discuss building a strong defense against your DUI charges.

Blowing Over the Legal Limit is Not an Automatic Conviction

Many people believe that there is nothing a lawyer can do for them if they blow over the legal limit while taking a Intoxilyzer test. That is simply not true. We will examine the details of your traffic stop and look into whether the Intoxilyzer was properly calibrated. If we believe you have been mistreated and that your rights have been violated, we will attempt to get evidence suppressed and the charges dropped.

Representation for Out-of-State Clients

We represent out-of-state clients who have been arrested while passing through the area. Under Florida law, we are authorized to represent you in your absence. You will not have to take time off work and pay for traveling expenses to ensure that your rights are protected and that your interests are being properly looked out for.

Contact us to discuss your DUI defense by phone or at our office conveniently located in downtown Pensacola, across the street from the street from the judicial center.
