Hands down the best DUI Trial attorney in the entire Tampa Bay Area!

There are but a hand full of people in my life that I can say have changed the course of my life. Deborah Moss is one of these people. I was placed under arrest for DUI after being caught sleeping in my vehicle and since I had a prior DUI at a minimum I was facing a couple of weeks in jail at a maxim...um upwards of 9 months. I was terrified, I had just graduated law school and was about to take the Florida Bar and having this arrest on the books absolutely devastated all of my future plans that I had worked so hard towards. Since this was not my first time hiring an attorney my wife and I began an intense process of seeking counsel through interviewing lawyers, reading reviews, word of mouth, you name it. After some time we came across Mrs. Moss and we were impressed by everything we saw and heard. From the beginning during our initial consultation she was extremely honest with me as it pertained to what I was facing. She told me it would be an uphill battle but that she would be there every step of the way (and boy was she!!) After over a year of attempting to strike a deal with the state we were left with no other choice but to set a date for trial by jury. If you have never been through such an experience I can tell you it is terrifying. The entire process can be quite overwhelming and there are so many factors that can contribute to a verdict either going your way or against you. Mrs. Moss knows this, and she made sure that I was a part of every decision that we made as it related to my defense and when it was something I did not understand she always took the time to explain it to me, I always knew what was going on with my case and what I needed to be doing thanks to her. As for the trial all I can say is wow! Her years of experience shined through during every part of the trial. Whether it was jury selection or her taking apart a police officers testimony on the stand she was nothing short of remarkable. Watching her during the trial brought a comfort to me that I had not felt since this all started, I knew that nobody could defend me better that she could. She fought for me as if I was her own family, and when your going up against the government which has unlimited resources to hire expert witnesses, subpoena officers, etc. you need someone who is going to take the matter personally and that was exactly what Mrs. Moss did. After two grueling days of testimony, exhibits, 10+ witness, the matter went to the jury and within 15 minutes the verdict was back, Not Guilty. Mrs. Moss is the consummate professional not only would I use her again in the future but I would recommend her to my closest loved ones. If you are looking for an attorney that is going to fight on your behalf with the same vigor that you would defend yourself with, then Deborah Moss is the lawyer you have been looking for. Whether the matter is working itself through the pre-trial process when attempting to strike a deal with the state or when there is no choice but to go to trial Deborah Moss is an expert in the entire legal process. Given how stressful the entire legal process can be you will always have the satisfaction of knowing that you have the best of the best in your corner. My family and I will forever be indebted to Mrs. Moss for what she did for us, this an attorney that does not back down from a fight!

Help with a DUI

Debra was able to help my son out of a jam with his drivers license. He was charged with a DUI, and a high speed. Between Debra and her assistant Bonnie, we were in communication each phase of the proceedings. Our outcome was the best possible scenario. Debra was able to have the speeding ticket dr...opped, and the DUI charge reduced to a reckless with no points. Debra also took the time to answer all of my son's phone calls that he had concerning his driving privilege and possible outcomes for his future.

Deborah Moss represented me on my DUI in 2018. She was compassionate and knowledgeable, guiding me through the whole process.

Excellent Attorney

Deborah Moss was more than I wanted from a lawyer and she was able to achieve exactly what she told me she was going to do for me! She told me that she would be able to get me into a program that’ll dismiss all of my charges (4 felonies, & 2 misdemeanors) and that’s exactly what happened. She is an e...xcellent attorney! Very respectable, timely, never in a rush, true to her word and very easy to understand and know exactly what the big pictures is! Couldn’t be happier to have had her represent me and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an attorney that’ll ACTUALLY have your back! Thank you Debbie!

"As a young lawyer I would closely watch as many attorneys as possible using the courts closed circuit TV access. On many occasions I was able to see Ms. Moss conduct masterful trials from start to finish. Truly amazing and all lawyers in the area are very aware of her exceptional skills. On one occasion I was able to hear Ms. Moss argue her position in front of the 2nd DCA. As a true fan of trial advocacy I can assure anyone seeking the "best" they can find it by hiring Ms. Moss. Avvo rating system is absolutely flawed since it does not rate this attorney as a perfect 10."
