Criminal DUI Convictions Can Result in Life-Changing Penalties

The state of Florida takes the safety of its roads and highways seriously. It imposes serious penalties and costly fines on drivers accused of getting behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. According to Florida Statutes § 316.193, DUI penalties can include:

A first offense can result in fines of up to $1,000 and incarceration of up to six months
A second offense can result in fines of up to $2,000 and incarceration of up to nine months
A third offense can result in fines of up to $5,000 and incarceration of up to a year

You could face more serious felony charges if you are convicted of causing an accident, causing injuries to another, or causing the demise of another. The presence of a minor in your vehicle can also lead to enhanced charges. These can result in much harsher penalties. They can also mean your case is ineligible for plea negotiations.

Our Ocala criminal DUI attorney will help you build a strong defense strategy. Every member of our team will make sure your case gets the attention to detail it warrants. We never stop fighting for the best possible outcome for you and for the chance to let you start putting your life back together.

Criminal DUI Arrest Can Cause Life-Changing Damage With or Without Conviction

An arrest, even without a conviction, can result in the immediate loss of your driver’s license, which can threaten your livelihood and dampen your career aspirations. Regaining your license can be complicated and costly. In addition, a DUI arrest can lead to:

The loss of certain professional licenses
The inability to cast votes in the upcoming elections
Denied access to certain types of employment

DUI arrests can also lead to added costs in order to meet your family’s transportation needs. Leave it to us. Our law firm will meet your specific needs. We do not offer cookie-cutter legal services. Instead, we listen to your version of the events that led to your arrest and draw out any details that help us build an effective defense strategy.

We Mitigate the Damage You Face

The state and its prosecutors will go to great lengths to build your case and impose the harshest penalties. When our criminal DUI attorney representing clients in Ocala is on your side, we leverage every tool and opportunity to successfully resolve your charges.

We may focus on plea bargaining to resolve your charges. A plea bargain could lead to one or more of the following:

Reduced sentences
Lowered charges
Lighter fines

When our team at Bogin, Munns & Munns handles your case, we understand the advantage each party gains from a plea bargain. We use this mutual benefit and our familiarity with state and local law to work on your behalf.

Other Methods to Resolve DUI Allegations

In some cases, we will advise our clients not to accept a plea bargain. Instead, we may focus on other methods to handle allegations of driving under the influence.

For example, our team may work to get your charges thrown out by the court. We can also aggressively fight on your behalf if your case goes before a judge and jury.

Leave the Investigation and Evidence Collection to Us

To prepare the best defense for you, we build a strong evidence file. It starts with a comprehensive investigation into the details of your case. We obtain a copy of your police report and scrutinize it for any information that supports your case.

Additional evidence we collect on your behalf can include witness statements, photos and videos, and your own version of events. We also request copies of your blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) results and proof of the calibration and efficacy of BAC testing equipment.

We look for evidence of a lack of probable cause, any mishandling of your arrest, and any violation of your rights.
