DUI

Call us now if you have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

In 2019, there were 33,873 DUI arrests in Florida. Police employ task forces and DUI checkpoints to actively pursue drivers who may be impaired every moment of your interaction with police can be used in court: including breathalyzer results, roadside tests, and video evidence.

You must have an attorney experienced in the nuance and technical requirements of the law police apply to arrest someone they suspect of driving while impaired - especially if this is the first time you have been charged with DUI.

DUI Administrative Review

Separate from your criminal charges, the State of Florida requires your driver’s license to be suspended immediately if there is evidence your blood alcohol concentration is .08 or higher, or you refuse a breath test - known as implied consent. If you are younger than 21, the blood alcohol concentration limit is .02.

If you do not request a hearing within 10 days of receiving the citation, your driver’s license will be suspended for a minimum of six months on your first DUI offense. If you fail to act within that 10-day window, you also will be unable to prevent your driver’s license from permanently indicating the suspension.

This suspension is not part of your criminal case. If the suspension resulted from a refusal to submit to a sobriety test, and you ever refuse a future breath or urine test - regardless of the outcome of your criminal procedure - you will likely face an additional, first-degree misdemeanor charge.
