• Michael Mermer: Florida's DUI Law: 316.193 Driving under the influence (1) A person is guilty of the offense of driving under the influence and is subject to punishment as provided in subsection (2) if the person is driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle within this state and: (a) The person is under the influence of alcoholic beverages, any chemical substance set forth in s. 877.111, or any substance controlled under chapter 893, when affected to the extent that the person's normal faculties are impaired; (b) The person has a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood; or (c) The person has a breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. Under Current Florida Law, you must act within 10 days of your arrest to protect your rights or your license could be suspended for at least 6 months. This Florida DUI Statute is very technical and Police routinely make errors such as illegal stops, failure to follow procedures and improper administration of breath and blood alcohol tests. The DUI laws are also very strict in Florida and you can lose your driving privileges for a minimum of 6 months if convicted of a DUI. There are separate criminal charges and Department of Highway Safety (DMV) charges in every DUI case. Those charged with DUI should consult with an attorney to find out if their rights have been violated and if they have a defense to this serious change.
• Russell Bernstein: For criminal defense and DUI defense, the goal is always to attain the most favorable results for the client under the circumstances. All legal defenses are explored on behalf of the client, such as, was there probable cause to stop the client and then to search and seize his person or property. For DUI's a client has only ten (10) days from the date of the incident to request an administrative hearing. This hearing allows me to find out more about the facts of the case and to obtain for the client a hardship license.
