Richard Ansara understands there are many ways to challenge an arrest for drunk driving. Challenging the probable cause for the traffic stop and the results of field-sobriety and breathalyzer testing can result in a reduction or dismissal of the charges. Your defense attorney should also request an administrative hearing over the suspension of your driver’s license, which must be done within 10 days of arrest.
Broward County reports handling thousands of property crimes each year. Certain shoplifting and theft crimes may be considered misdemeanors – particularly for first-time offenders. But many others, including embezzlement from an employer, robbery, burglary, auto theft and carjacking, are considered serious felonies.
As an experienced Sunrise defense lawyer, Richard Ansara understands these are complex cases, with the penalties dictated by how you are charged and whether or not you are convicted. Receiving stolen property is another charge often slapped on a defendant. In many instances, the authorities use it as a means of pushing family and friends to cooperate.
Your best option in nearly all cases is to simply remain silent. In many instances, these cases are difficult for prosecutors to prove.

In all, more than 50,000 theft crimes are reported in Broward County every year – including nearly 5,000 cases of auto theft.
