DUI Deferred Prosecution pilot program not widely publicized.

The DUI deferred prosection pilot program headed by State Attorney William Cervone, while overwhelmingly successful thus far, has not been widely publicized.

The Gainesville DUI Lawyers, Jeffrey Meldon and myself, Tom Copeland serving all of Alachua County not only have successfully placed qualified clients into this new program but regularly communicate with Mr. Cervone and the assistant state attorneys assigned to the traffic division to remain apprised of any new developments to the program, as well as discuss the program's direction and viability.    

Many local attorneys claim to know "everything" about defending a DUI charge.  Few, if any, however, can support their positions.  We, on the other hand, are more concerned with actually providing the best legal service in the community. 

While other attorneys boast about their legal skills, the Law Office of Jeffrey Meldon and Associates prefer to prove their legal merit by searching for, learning about, and becoming fully involved and invested in the newest legal developments. 

We are glad to pass the information to our clients and friends, because the attorneys and staff at Jeffrey Meldon & Associates strongly believe that EVERYONE (client or not) should know his/her rights and potential legal options.

From What I understand the tube on the 8000 unit is about 36 inches long and heated.
The one that was used on me was a 6 to 8 foot long tube, it looked kind of like a tube they ues for a ice machine but a little bigger and the officer even steped ofer the tube durring the test.
My thoughts about this is because every drunk that blew into this tube before I did ... you can fegure the rest, I did not have any thing to drink when I was arrested for dui
