Frequently Asked Questions About DUI Defense In Florida
Here is a collection of DUI defense questions clients have asked our lawyers:
What are the penalties for a first-time DUI in Florida?
A first-time DUI conviction in Florida can lead to $500 to $1,000 in fines, up to six months in jail and a suspended license for up to 180 days. In some cases, a court may require a driver to use an ignition interlock device for at least six months, attend 50 hours of community service and undergo substance abuse treatment. However, a strong legal defense can make it possible to minimize the consequences or even have the case dismissed.
How do I expunge a DUI conviction in Florida?
In Florida, a DUI conviction typically cannot be sealed or expunged. As a result, a DUI conviction can lead to long-term consequences, such as impacting employment, housing, education and child custody. However, if a DUI charge was dismissed, it may be possible to seal an arrest. You can reach out to Lindsey, Ferry & Parker, P.A., to explore your legal options and protect your future.
What are the penalties for commercial drivers who receive a DUI in Florida?
Commercial drivers face harsh consequences for drunk driving. If a commercial driver is convicted of driving with a BAC level of .04% or higher, they face all the usual penalties plus a one-year disqualification for their CDL. No hardship license can be obtained for a CDL, so that generally means the driver will lose their job. That makes it critical to fight the charges.
What defenses are available for a DUI conviction in Florida?
A defense attorney could question the legality of the traffic stop and arrest, the accuracy of a field sobriety test, the accuracy of any chemical test and more, for example. Every case is unique, and the specific facts of the situation will guide the defense. Our attorneys at Lindsey, Ferry & Parker, P.A., can help our clients explore their options.
