Defending against DUIs in Florida
In Florida, DUI penalties are extremely serious:
- First conviction — Fine of $500 to $1000 or more in certain circumstances; mandatory community service and revocation of driver license; up to 6 months imprisonment or more in certain circumstances
- Second conviction — Fine of $1000 to $4000; mandatory revocation of driver license; up to 9 months imprisonment or more in certain circumstances
- Third conviction — Possible felony conviction; fine of $2000 to $5000; mandatory revocation of driver license; up to 12 months jail or imprisonment in the Department of Corrections in some instances
Not only are the consequences of a conviction determined by Florida law, there may be other repercussions, too, such as loss of eligibility for occupational licenses or professional advancement. Your ability to care for yourself or your family may be severely curtailed by the loss of a driving privilege, also.
It's better to avoid these consequences altogether. If you are charged with a DUI, please call us today.
