DUI Defense in Gulf Breeze, FL
Gulf Breeze is a small incorporated city on a peninsula in southern Santa Rosa County, connected by causeways: the Pensacola Bay Bridge to the north and the Bob Sikes Bridge toward Pensacola Beach. The Gulf Breeze Police Department patrols the city, and that causeway geography makes the bridge corridors a frequent spot for traffic and DUI enforcement.
Gulf Breeze’s causeway geography, from the Pensacola Bay Bridge to the Bob Sikes Bridge, makes the bridge corridors a common site for DUI stops and checkpoints. Gilbert challenges the stop, the testing, and the results.
Although Gulf Breeze has its own police department, its cases are handled through the Santa Rosa County courts at the courthouse on Avalon Blvd. in Milton, with booking at the Santa Rosa County Jail. Attorney Gilbert appears regularly in these courts.

Common Questions
DUI Defense FAQ
Gulf Breeze is in Santa Rosa County, so your case is heard at the Santa Rosa County Courthouse on Avalon Blvd. in Milton, even though the Gulf Breeze Police Department made the arrest.
After a DUI arrest, you will be taken to jail for processing. Your license may be taken and you'll receive a citation. You typically have 10 days from the arrest date to request a formal review hearing with the DHSMV, or your license will be suspended automatically. Call an attorney immediately.
Florida law gives you 10 days after a DUI arrest to request a formal review hearing with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). If you do not request this hearing within 10 days, your license will be automatically suspended. An attorney can file this request on your behalf.
Florida's implied consent law means refusing a breathalyzer comes with its own penalties, including a one-year license suspension for a first refusal and an 18-month suspension for subsequent refusals. However, refusal also means no BAC evidence. Whether refusal helps or hurts your case depends on the specific circumstances, which is why you need an attorney to evaluate your options.
