- Brody, OBeidy & Marcellus:
Those who are convicted of DUI for a first time can apply for a hardship license in the county they live in before the expiration of their revocation period. It may be required for an individual to complete treatment and/or DUI school before applying. If DUI school or treatment is required, failure to complete these requirements may result in cancellation of your driver license. In addition, it is mandatory to take an examination regardless if the reinstatement is for a hardship license or a full license. There will be a charge of $115 administrative fee and $60 reinstatement fee.
- Ramey, Alexander:
DUI is a criminal charge that carries mandatory penalties if you are convicted, including fines, probation, alcohol counseling, community service, the loss of your driver license, the impoundment of your vehicle, and even jail (in some cases). By acting quickly to obtain proper representation from an experienced defense attorney, you may be able to avoid or minimize the impact of a DUI conviction and the resulting penalties.
Additionally, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles may automatically administratively suspend your license, if you had a breath test result above .08 or refused to take the breath test. It is important that we act within (ten) 10 days of the DUI incident, in order to challenge the suspension of your license at an Administrative License Hearing.
If it has been more that ten days since you were arrested for DUI we may be able to help you obtain a hardship license. With a hardship license you will be able to drive to work, school, or church.
In our criminal system, whether you think you are guilty or not guilty, you are entitled to fight your charges. Some clients decide to fight their charge and want a jury trial. Other clients do not want to fight their charges, but they want our law firm to negotiate with the government for the best possible plea agreement. Many cases can be resolved without the need for a trial.
- Matthew Mazur:
Under Florida law, The State can prove a D.U.I. charge in one of two alternative ways: 1) The State can prove that your normal faculties were impaired, or 2) The State can prove that you drove with an unlawful blood alcohol or breath alcohol level of .08 or above.
Regardless of the manner in which The State proves a D.U.I., the penalties upon conviction are the same. D.U.I. penalties increase based on the frequency of D.U.I. convictions and the severity of your current D.U.I. offense. Therefore, it is extremely important if faced with a D.U.I. charge that you fight it using every legal defense available.
- Hager & Schwartz:
Most people do not know that it is not illegal in the state of Florida to drink and drive. It is illegal however to drive while your normal faculties are impaired by the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Kenneth
Walton: A defendant is guaranteed the right to a public trial under the
Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The right to a
public trial is also an element of the defendant's due process rights,
which rights are guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment of the
United States Constitution. In addition, states have enacted provisions
in their constitutions that guarantee a defendant's right to a public
trial. The public also has a right to attend criminal trials under the
First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
- Ernesto de la Fe:
A single act of bad judgment will start an otherwise law-abiding
citizen on a seemingly endless rollercoaster of expense, wasted time,
frustration, limitation on freedom, contempt, and mistreatment.
- Albert M Quirantes: The Driving Under the Influence (D.U.I.) charge is a criminal traffic offense in Florida.
- Robert Reiff: D.U.I. is an abbreviation for "Driving Under the Influence."
A person is guilty of the offense if such person is driving or
in actual physical control of a vehiclewithin the state and the
person is under the influence of alcoholic beverages or
any chemicalor controlled substance set forth under the
applicable statutes when affected to the extent that his or
her normal faculties are impaired or when the person has a
blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher. "Drunk Driving"
is a common misnomer for the crime of driving under the
influence. While all individuals who drive while drunk are
D.U.I., you do not need to be drunk to be considered under
the influence.
- Julio Gomez:
You must request a formal or informal review of your driver‚s license
suspension within 10 days after the date of arrest for D.U.I. or the
issuance of the notice of suspension whichever is latter.
- Joeseph Chambrot:
Driving while under the influence of alcohol or a narcotic (controlled
substance) is one of the most serious traffic violations you can
commit. DUI is considered a misdemeanor traffic crime, or can be
classified as a felony. If you are found guilty of driving while under
the influence, you are subject to heavy penalties for your first
offense. This may include a jail term of up to six months, loss of your
drivers license for a minimum of six months, a fine of between $250.00
and $500.00 plus court costs, completion of a substance abuse course,
and 50 hours of community service.
- Alberto
Batista: A conviction for Drunk Driving can ruin your career and affect
your life forever. If you are not a U.S. Citizen, it could subject you
to deportation from the United States. Don't drive drunk. Use a
Designated Driver if you are going clubbing or bar-hopping. Call a Taxi
Cab. If you got arrested for D.U.I./D.W.I., then make sure your lawyer
does not roll over and play dead. The Law protects you from certain
procedural errors. Make sure your lawyer knows how to help you. Being
pegged as a convicted drunkard is going to hurt your family and your
earning ability if you ever plan to work in a company that does
background checks.
