    Alleged DUI Setup in Attorney Charles Phillip Campbell Jr. Case

    Posted By 1 800 FIGHT IT

    We have been covering the Bubba the Love Sponge Clem defamation trial from the beginning, including the unfortunate timing of his opposing counsels’ very public driving under the influence arrest in Tampa that served to delay the trial a bit. For a quick recap: attorney Charles Phillip Campbell Jr. was arrested for his second DUI (the first one occurring in 2008) after leaving a local Tampa bar.

    Hillsborough County Penalties for First DUI Conviction

    Posted By 1 800 FIGHT IT

    A Look At Alternatives To Jail In Tampa: House Arrest

    Posted By 1 800 FIGHT IT

    Sure the fines associated with a DUI are a gigantic financial inconvenience. Perhaps to some people much more than that. But the one thing that so many people worry about during their DUI trial has to do with the potential 

    for jail time. Not only is jail an unsavory place but mandatory jail time means that you cannot work and miss out on important pay days to make back the money you spent on the fines. When it comes to driving under the

    influence in Tampa, police and prosecutors often try to inflict the harshest punishment possible, which of course includes jail time.
