“So, is it black and white? If anything shows up, you are under the influence, then?”
Regina Tsombanakis– DUI Attorney – Fort Lauderdale, FL
“As far as getting arrested.”

“Really? I mean… getting arrested, but then the following question is… conviction. Can they convict on it?”
Regina Tsombanakis– DUI Attorney – Fort Lauderdale, FL
“That’s a little different. But, for purposes of conviction, it’s a little harder. Because during conviction, I mean during the trial, you have the opportunity to educate the people there about how long certain substances stay. And I’m sure there’s a lot of people with prescription medication… Xanax is one of the most prescribed in this entire country. And they’d be thrilled to know that if they got stopped and they took Xanax three days ago, it’s going to come up.
And, whoa, whoa, whoa… But I haven’t taken it. I’m not driving on it. “Well, ma’am, it says you are.” So, at that point you get arrested. But when it goes to the trial, you have more of an opportunity to explain how long it stays in your system. You can show your prescriptions. So, it may not go to conviction, but it will give you all the hassles of the DUI. No license. Can’t drive. Everything, whether you’re guilty or not, and whether the case, you’re convicted, or not, you still have to go through all those hurdles.”
