DUI

Driving Under the Influence is a very serious offense in Florida. D.U.I. is a criminal charge which carries up to six months in jail and a one year driver's license revocation for the first offense. A second conviction carries up to nine months to one year in jail and a mandatory five years minimum driver's license revocation, if convicted within five years of the prior conviction. The penalties are even higher for subsequent convictions. Sometimes the punishments can be more severe than some felony offenses not to mention employment opportunities destroyed as well as automobile insurance costs soaring through the roof in addition to surcharges and devastating administrative fees.

If you have been charged with a DUI, having legal representation is essential. DUI is the only criminal offense that uses subjective evidence for convictions - i.e., the evidence against an individual is based on the personal belief of the arresting police officer for the few minutes they are around each other. We help keep our clients charged with D.U.I. informed of their options regarding the protection of their driver's license and the available defenses in court. We get a thorough account of the facts of your case so we formulate a more effective defense strategy in your case and wherever possible, seek to negotiate a dismissal or reduction of your charges.
