Expert on DUI Blood Test

I decided to use Carlos's after speaking with several attorneys after receiving another DUI charge with very special circumstances and a blood draw with serious consequences and several grey areas. Carlos was not the cheapest and made no promises but that is why I choose him. He was extremely knowled...geable of the law and very professional and always available. I couldn't have been more happy with my choice and can assure he was worth every penny. He kept me out of jail and continues to help me with my needs after the case has been settled. Other attorneys will promise the world and then leave you hanging. I've never recommended or reviewed an attorney ever but I thought it was the absolute least I could do. I can't say Thank you enough Carlos... Thank you, Tim

My Lawyer Carlos Canet

Carlos was awesome he knows the law back and forth. His advice was on Point after talking with my family we decided that he was the right choice.

Highly recommend

I contacted Carlos canet in 2011 to handle a couple of DUI's. I had already previously hired a non DUI attorney who was no help. Carlos immediately made my life easier. He knows the laws back and forth and is dedicated DUI attorney. I was super pleased with his demeanor and his cross examination of ...the Officer/Detective who stopped me. I would highly recommend to any and all

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Canet is one of the finest DUI lawyers I have encountered as a criminal attorney here in South Florida. His knowledge of DUI law and DUI trial work is unparalleled. Mr. Canet is also a very creative lawyer and has been recognized for his work in challenging faulty breath test machines. I would feel very comfortable referring him a client or co-counseling a case with him."
