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.
