🚨 Arrested for DUI in Broward County? You Might Be Able to Get It Dropped.
Not every DUI ends in a conviction—and many don’t even end in a DUI at all.
If you’re wondering whether a DUI can be dropped in Broward County, the answer is yes—but only if the case is handled properly, and fast.
At Michael White, P.A., we fight aggressively to get DUI charges dismissed, reduced, or resolved without damaging your record.
⚖️ When Can a DUI Be Dropped in Florida?
Broward prosecutors will sometimes drop DUI charges when:
🚔 The traffic stop was illegal
❌ Field sobriety exercises (FSEs) were flawed or unrecorded
🧪 Breath or blood tests were improperly conducted
👀 Bodycam footage contradicts officer reports
⚖️ Probable cause is weak or missing
In these situations, we may file motions to suppress key evidence—which can collapse the State’s case entirely.
🔁 DUI Reductions vs. Dismissals
Even if the case isn’t dropped outright, we often negotiate:
💡 Wet reckless (reckless driving with alcohol-related facts)
⚠️ Careless driving or traffic infractions
🛡️ Withhold of adjudication to preserve sealing eligibility
These outcomes avoid a DUI conviction, which is not sealable or expungeable in Florida.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
⚖️ Can DUI charges be dropped in Broward County?
Yes. DUI charges may be dropped if the traffic stop was illegal, the test results are invalid, or the evidence is insufficient to support prosecution.

Illegal traffic stop
Improperly administered field sobriety tests
Inadmissible breath test or refusal

🔁 What’s the difference between a DUI being dropped and reduced?
A dropped charge means the DUI is dismissed entirely. A reduction typically means the DUI is downgraded to reckless driving or a lesser traffic offense.
