Awesome lawyer
Tom did an outstanding job with my case. He did exactly what he said he would do and treated me very fair. He listened to me, returned my phone calls ( which is extremely important!), and did the best job that he could do with my DUI. I am thrilled with the results and have Tom to thank!

Highly Recommended DUI Attorney
I was arrested for DUI in Sarasota County and consulted and hired Attorney Hudson to represent me in the very confusing Florida court process, made even more so due to COVID restrictions. Tom explained up front what the process is and how much it would cost and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I received a very favorable outcome and never had to set foot in a court room which was a huge bonus. His down to earth demeanor put me at ease and was appreciated. I would recommend Attorney Hudson to anyone needing a DUI Defense Team.

Hands down the best DUI Lawyer out there
Tom Hudson is amazing! From the first day that I walked into his office he treated me like I was an old friend. He kept me in the loop every step of the way. In the end he had my case reduced to a Reckless with adjudication withheld. I couldn't be happier with his service. If you ever find yourself arrested for a DUI, Tom Hudson is your guy.

Highly recommend
I was arrested and facing a DUI conviction. I had just moved to Florida a few months prior. I had never been in trouble with the law before and I didn’t know what to do. Mr. Hudson reached out to me after I inquired about my legal options. He listened very well and understood the stress that was going on in my mind. He offered to pursue every legal option at my disposal and turned a very stressful situation around. While I highly recommend not to drink and drive, I highly recommend Mr. Hudson. A DUI conviction Would’ve wrecked my whole life but thanks to Mr. Hudson I was able to get through this without a conviction and the chance to get my records sealed. I don’t plan on ever getting a DUI again but if I ever got injured I would definitely hire him again. He is a very knowledgeable attorney who will explore every legal option and loophole for you.

Go To DUI Defense Lawyer
I suffered a medical event while driving that left me disoriented and resulted in a collision. I was arrested for DUI. When I blew zeros the deputy decided that I must be high on prescription medication and booked me for that. I reviewed information on a dozen attorneys and selected two to interview. The first had a nice office but little practical experience. He immediately talked about the opportunities for a plea deal, which I was not interested in. Tom Hudson's office was not as nice but he has tried hundreds of DUI cases and literally wrote the book on DUI defense. He was knowledgeable and capable but his greatest talent may have been in client management. I was outraged and wanted to light a fire under someone. Tom calmed me down and prepared me for the long game. The state kicked this case around for a year and a half, without making a decision. Tom advised hiring an expert witness who provided compelling expert observations, negating the claims made in the arrest report. Prosecutors offered various "deals", all of which were rejected. After a year and a half Tom spoke with a senior prosecutor and convinced him that the best course of action would be to dismiss the criminal charges. The prosecutor agreed to dismiss the criminal charges if I would plead guilty, or no contest, to a traffic infraction. Tom was, rightly, concerned with potential liability in a civil trial with punitive damages. I refused to do that but Tom salvaged the deal by convincing the prosecutor to send the infraction to traffic court, to be heard by a traffic judge, and dismissing the criminal charges. This was a very satisfactory outcome and I'm convinced that other attorneys would not have achieved the same result. Tom was the real deal and definitely gave me my money's worth. I highly recommend him.

Couldn't be happier
I am very happy to have used Mr. Tom Hudson as my attorney. I've been misleaded from other attorneys in the past and was very scared at first. After consulting with him and going over the strategy he had in mind I felt comfortable. He is honest, hard working and helped me with my 2nd violation in My 3rd DUI. Just weeks before I was to terminate my probation my PO officer hit me with a violation that he said happened 4 months prior. I spent less than a day in jail and Tom had an emergency hearing planned for the next morning and got me out with only 25 hrs community service and probation for 3 months. I'm grateful with the end result Joy H.

Amazing
Having Tom representing me was the best decision I have made! He was very knowledgeable and reliable. Always did what he said he would do, kept me informed at all times, and was honest and straightforward about my options. His team is also friendly and didn’t make you feel worse than you already did. Highly recommend Tom!

Very efficient and friendly
Mr. Hudson and his staff were all very pleasant to work with. He was extremely helpful and thoroughly explained all processes from start to finish which relieved a lot of my anxiety in this situation. Process was very quick even through this pandemic and courts being shut down. End result being DUI knocked down to reckless which can then be expunged, leaving me with no record at all. A+!

Excellent DUI attorney

I was really nervous about the court process after getting a DUI. Tom relieved a lot of stress for me!

Tom Hudson is one of Florida's brightest and most diligent DUI advocates. He has constructed a web site that offers free information to citizens accused of DUI, and has made it as user-friendly as possible. I have sponsored numerous advanced training seminars in Atlanta as well as NHTSA-approved courses that he has attended, to assure his clients that he is up-to-date on all the latest in legal challenges to the State's evidence. Tom has one more talent that most skilled attorneys do not --- a commanding voice and courtroom delivery that gets jurors' attention, and a judge's attention. He is one of the stars of DUI defense on the west coast of central Florida.

I have listened to this man speak at National DUI events and most recently in Key West. I am impressed with his DUI certification but more than that he truly speaks from his heart. He cares for his clients beyond the courtroom in a way that few professionals do. I recently referred him a Florida case, and could not find enough nice words to describe him.

By and through the National College for DUI Defense, and that of multiple national DUI defense training seminars over this past decade, I have had the privilege of getting to know Mr. Hudson both personally and professionally. His name, reputation and competency in the area of DUI defense both within the state of Florida and nationally is of the highest quality. He cares deeply about those that put their well being in his hands and is well known for giving his absolute finest effort always. Simply put, and particularly in that of central/western Florida down the coast line, you will find no better in the area of DUI defense than Tom Hudson. Period.

I first met Tom when I was a Prosecutor. Tom was one of the defense attorneys I worked with often that always zealously advocated for his clients. Tom and I even had trial together where he fought hard for his client and you could see his passion. Today, I still see Tom as a strong defender for his clients. He never gives up. He is a great attorney.

When I first met Tom he was quick to share information that would help my clients charged with DUI. Tom has received Board Certification in DUI Defense. Very few lawyers attempt to pass this grueling examination; it requires tremendous dedication. Tom has that dedication for his clients. I give him the highest recommendation.

Tom Hudson is one of the top DUI lawyers in America. Fewer than 40 lawyers in this country have been able to pass the examination for Board Certification in DUI Defense - Tom is one of the few. Being Board Certified means that he has the highest qualifications needed to defend DUI case. I have known him for many years. I have discussed and studied DUI law with him. I turn to him for advice. I would have no hesitation in sending my family or friends to him if they had a DUI. Wayne R. Foote, Esq. Board Certified OUI Defense Law Specialist Bangor, Maine

Attorney Hudson is a very skilled and artful litigator of the highest order. His ability to advocate effectively for his position is remarkable. His reputation for achieving great results for the citizen accused by the government of a crime is well known. His reputation for excellence in all matters is a hard earned national one. This reputation far exceeds the bounds of his state as evidenced by this lawyer from Central Pennsylvania not only knowing of him but in that I can personally attest through first hand observation his high level of proficiency in litigation and in the defense of the citizen accused. Superior, fantastic and skilled. He is the one I would put in my corner every time.
