Tom Hudson, Attorney |
Known in southwestern Florida
as one of the leading DUI defense lawyers in the region, Tom has tried
over 300 jury trials, including several death penalty cases. He now
limits his criminal practice to DUI defense, and averages approximately
one jury trial a month. His nickname, "the Sarasota Slasher"
was bestowed upon him by William "Bubba" Head, the dean of
American DUI lawyers, in recognition of his extraordinary record of trial
success.
