  1. Hill, Michelle: DUI and other criminal cases
  2. Miller, Landon: Being arrested on suspicion of a DUI in Florida is a serious offense. The penalties associated with a drunk driving conviction can include paying very high fines and court fees, having your auto insurance premiums skyrocket or your policy cancelled, losing your driverÕs license and spending time in jail. The consequences increase if there was an accident or physical harm caused by drunk driving. The State of Florida will automatically suspend your driverÕs license 10 days after the date of your arrest unless you request a special administrative hearing. You stand a better chance of retaining your driving privileges and winning your DUI case if you have Mangone & Miller Law Offices, P.A. represent you during the hearing. Consider the following to realize how important it is to have legal counsel when dealing with a Florida DUI : * Failure to request a hearing will result in the automatic suspension of your driverÕs license. * Your license will be suspended for 6 months on a first offense if you failed a breath test . * Your license will be suspended for one year if you refused to take a breath test. * Evidence and information obtained at the hearing can be used against you by the prosecution during your criminal case.
  3. Faett & Darrow: DRUNK DRIVING/DUI Under Florida Statute 316.193 a person is guilty of the offense of driving under the influence and is subject to punishment if the person is driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle with this state. (This does not mean that you have to be under the influence of alcohol and/or high, just impaired!!) If law enforcement believes and/or determines that a person is operating any vehicle (even a bicycle) while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, he/she can be arrested for DUI. The legal limit of a personÕs blood level in Florida is currently .08%. Driving under the influence is a very common offense. This offense can be charged as either a felony or misdemeanor, depending upon your prior record or if the police or Prosecutor allege that there were serious injuries involved during the commission of the offense. (Even if you were the only one injured.) You might also see that there is a second charge under Florida Statue 316.1932. This is the charge of Tests for alcohol, chemical substances, or controlled substances; implied consent; refusal. This occurs if your refuse to submit to testing either through a breathalyzer, blood or urine. ALSO, YOU ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS AFTER YOUR ARREST TO REQUEST A DMV HEARING TO CONTEST THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS OF SUSPENDING YOUR LICENSE. This is NOT the same as the criminal process and will be lost if not specifically requested with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles within the first ten days following your arrest.
  4. McGowan, John: When it comes to... your freedom or assets, itÕs best to call in the professionals.
  5. David Agoston: DUI (also known as DWI) is a criminal offense that carries rather severe penalties in Florida. Those penalties may include jail time, fines, community service, loss of driver's license, vehicle impoundment, and mandatory alcohol treatment programs. A DUI conviction also gives you a permanent criminal record that can affect your insurance rates and job prospects. If you are involved in an accident while intoxicated and the accident results in injury to another person or if you have children in the car or prior convictions, the charge can be enhanced and possibly be charged as a felony. Why Not Just Plead Guilty If You Know You Were Driving Drunk? Many people are hesitant to plead not-guilty in a DUI case because they think they would be lying to the judge. A not-guilty plea is not the same as swearing that you were not driving drunk. A not-guilty plea is a demand that the prosecutor show his proof of the case against you beyond a reasonable doubt before taking away your freedom, your driving privileges, and your reputation. Pleading not guilty can never be held against you, whereas a guilty plea can almost never be taken back. Whether you did something wrong and whether the state can prove it are two entirely different things.
