Drunk Driving (DUI)
Drunk driving (DUI) is not a minor traffic offense, it is a serious criminal charge. A conviction for drunk driving (DUI) in Florida carries serious consequences. A first-offense drunk driving conviction will result in 50 hours of community service, 6 months of probation, large fines and court costs, alcohol education courses, and loss of your driver’s license for 6 months. A second or subsequent drunk driving (DUI) conviction can result in at least 10 days in jail, longer jail terms, larger fines, lengthy or lifetime license revocation, and imposition of an ignition interlock device for up to two years at a cost of seventy dollar per month. A third drunk driving (DUI) conviction can be raised to a felony, resulting in state prison time. A drunk driving conviction with aggravating factors, such as children in the car or an accident with injuries, is a felony and can result in several years of state prison time. Do not risk imposition of these serious penalties by proceeding without an experienced Daytona Beach, Florida drunk driving (DUI) defense attorney.
