Drunk driving charges in the State of Florida are covered under the state’s DWI (drive while intoxicated) laws. The offense referred to as DUI (driving under the influence), involves the operation of a motor vehicle or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or a controlled substance. While DUI is a relatively commonplace criminal offense in Florida, it is also a very serious one and carries serious penalties that remain with you for the rest of your life.

A driver convicted of DUI/DWI, may face imprisonment, fines, suspension of driver’s license, community service orders and probation.

Why Do I Need A DUI Lawyer?

A DUI or DWI conviction brings with it a number of negative consequences. The most serious of these, is imprisonment and the fact that a conviction stays on your record for life and cannot be sealed or expunged. We also understand though, that even losing your driver’s license for any period of time can cause a great deal of stress and serious economic hardship. It is difficult enough relying upon family members, friends and public transportation to get to and from work or school, but if the security of your job is dependent upon your ability to drive, you may also be faced with the loss of your employment. The court may also impose fines, community service orders and probation in the event of a conviction.
