DUI? Call Us Today

Anyone who has had to deal with the police, the state attorney’s office or judges, understands that this can be an extremely scary time. Everyone knows someone who has had a DUI and they can tell you exactly how stressful it is. A DUI can mean fines, probation, loss of your license, and sometimes the loss of your job or jail time. Being arrested for drunk driving means you will have many questions, and some of those decisions need to be made very quickly.

 

  • Should I hire an attorney now, or wait?
  • Will I be convicted?
  • Will I be on probation?
  • I didn’t blow, can I win?
  • What are the penalties if I am convicted?
  • Can I get a hardship license?
  • Will I go to jail?
  • Can I afford a private attorney?

The clock is ticking…

In Florida, you have only 10 days from the day of your arrest for driving drunk to request a formal review hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles. This hearing is critical, and the assistance of an experienced Boca Raton DUI attorney could make the difference between having your driver’s license suspension lifted or sustained.

Making the wrong decision after you’ve been arrested in regards to your DUI defense can affect the rest of your life, which is why you need to make sure that you build a strong case for yourself to mitigate the possibility of life-changing consequences.

DUI is an enhancement crime

What is an enhancement crime? If you have had a previous DUI, even in another state, you need an experienced DUI attorney more than ever! Unlike many other crimes, an enhancement crime like DUI means that each time the penalties get worse. Most people will not got to jail for a first DUI so long as they did not injure anyone or cause substantial property damage in an accident. If it is your second or third DUI, you may be looking at jail time and other penalties.
