- Jacobson, McClean, Chmelir & Ferwerda:
DUI or Driving Under the Influence results in a criminal charge as well
as action against your driver's license through the department of motor
vechicles. In the criminal court you could be sentenced to up to 6
months of jail for a first offense and a third offense can be
punishable by up to 5 years in state prison. Additionally, the
Department of Motor Vehicles could suspend your Driver's License for a
period of 6 months to life depending on your driving record. The DUI
laws are complex and subject to change by the State Legislation. An
arrest for DUI can have very serious consequences. Your license may
already be suspended if you refused to submit to the tests the officer
"asked" you to do or if your blood alcohol level was .08 or higher. It
is very important to know that you only have 10 days from the date of
your arrest to challenge this administrative suspension. You must
request a hearing within this 10-day period. You need to know the
Florida dui laws in order to protect your rights.
