 If you are arrested for DUI you have been charged with
an offense that the Court considers serious. For a first time
conviction of a .08% Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) the
minimum penalty is as follows:

  • at least $500
  • six months probation
  • DUI school with treatment to follow
  • mandatory 50 hours of community service
  • 10 day impoundment of your car
  • 6 month license suspension
    
 It is very important that you contact an attornry as soon as
you have been arrested. You have 10 days from the day of
your arrest to request a Formal Review Hearing  with the
Florida DMV ( Department Of Motor Vehicles). This
hearing is very important because it will determine if you
will get your license back. It has no effect on the outcome
of your DUI charge in criminal court, but it will determine
your ability to drive in the short term and your ability to
drive without restriction in the long term.

 Because the DUI/Drunk Driving law and procedure is so
technical you should be represented by a highly competent
and experienced attorney. We are ready to answer all your
questions regarding a potential case.
