Orlando DUI Lawyers
- Bay Hill Area Law Group:
Driving While Under the Influence of Alcohol is a charge one should not plead no contest or guilty to without careful consideration. The consequences are greatalways including, at the very least, stiff fines, suspension of your driveršs license, numerous classes, and more. Furthermore, the law regarding the admissibility of the statešs evidence in DUI cases is currently in a state of flux, and oftentimes the statešs critical piece of evidence (the breath test result) is being excluded.
- Grady Ayers: The hiring of an attorney is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.
- Frank Bankowitz: DO NOT talk with anyone (including the police) and call your lawyer immediately.
- Elaine Barbour:
If you or a loved one have been the subject of an arrest or criminal
investigation, you should consult with an attorney immediately.
- Susan Barnes:
You are arrested when law enforcement officers take you into custody or
otherwise deprive you of your freedom of movement in any significant
way, in order to hold you to answer for a criminal offense. Police
officers, under Florida law, are obligated to identify themselves and
to advise you that you are under arrest and why, unless circumstances
make it impossible for them to do so at that time. You may, in fact, be
under arrest even though no one has actually used the word "arrest" or
any other comparable word. The fact that you have been deprived of your
freedom of movement in some significant manner may amount legally to an
arrest.
- Mark Bender: If you are arrested
for drunk driving in Florida, you will be held in jail for a minimum of
eight hours and your license will be suspended on the spot. If you are
convicted of a DUI, you face serious and potentially life-changing
consequences, including DUI education classes, fines, the possibility
of six months in jail for a first offense, extended loss of your
license, vehicle impoundment, and other DUI penalties including high
insurance costs which can affect your ability to earn a living and meet
your family obligations.
- David Bibb:
Orlando Drunk Driving Attorney
If you have been arrested for DUI in Florida, you face the prospect of
a large fine, the loss of your driver's license, and even jail time. In
addressing this charge, you need to understand what your options are,
the legal risks and possible outcomes of those options, and the advice
of an assertive DUI defense lawyer.
- Robert Branson:
There are certain general things you should always know when you are
dealing with policing authorities. They are doing their job. While it
may seem unfair to you and I, they are not your friends and anything
you say can and will be used against you. Therefore, don’t talk to them
other than to establish who you are. Do not consent to any search. This
is not the time to explain why “this is all a misunderstanding”. Merely
cooperate and as soon as possible, set and keep an appointment so you
can hire an attorney. There are approximately 2 MILLION people in
America kept in jails, prisons and other confinements. This is the
highest incarceration rate in the world and you do not want to be a
part of that statistic. If you think waiting at a doctor or a lawyer’s
office is irritating, imagine waiting in a cell. I can guarantee few
things in life, but this will have an adverse impact on one’s social
calendar.
- Patrick Cairns: DWI/DUI means
"driving while intoxicated" or "driving while under the influence" and
refers to the crime of drunk driving. This crime usually includes
driving while abusing drugs and the operation of other kinds of
motorized vehicles, such as boats. Drunk driving is defined by each
state's criminal code.
- Wilfred Calerro: There are bad stops! There are many things that you need to do before appearing in front of a judge.
- Andrew Cameron:
Challenges to the State's evidence of your impairment may take the form
of pretrial motions. Before deciding whether to enter a plea or proceed
to trial, your attorney can review the State's case, including witness
statements, charging affidavits, audio and video tapes, and physical
evidence, in an effort to determine whether any of your constitutional
rights have been violated in collecting evidence against you. Your
lawyer may then ask the Court to consider whether evidence collected
against you in violation of your rights should be suppressed or kept
from the jury hearing your case.
- James Campbell: The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisement.
- Central Florida Law Group:
When a defendant is accused of a criminal offense and the defendant
pleads not guilty to the offense, the defendant's trial may involve a
two-stage process, depending upon whether the defendant is tried by a
jury or a trial judge. The two-stage process involves the guilt or
innocence stage of the trial and the punishment stage of the trial.
- Paul Courtright:
Being arrested or charged with a crime is a serious matter. Depending on the charges, your livelihood and liberty may be at issue. You may have certain defenses available to you.
