Dui Overview

DUI stands for "driving under the influence", and in the state of Florida, a driver may be classified as such if they are found to have either a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or higher, or their normal physical / mental abilities are impaired due to alcohol and/ or drugs.

The facts of each DUI are unique, but if you or someone you love is faced with the unfortunate situation of being charged with a DUI it is important you act quickly and make the right decisions in order to ensure the best possible outcome.

The best way to protect your rights, freedom, and reputation when facing a DUI is to hire a DUI attorney to help you though the process, and mitigate the damage it can cause.

Since each DUI is unique, it will be up to a DUI attorney to look at the specific facts of the case, and identify the best defenses to assert on the clients behalf.

In many cases there are weaknesses in the prosecutions case, which when argued properly, can lead to a reduction in charges or dismissal.

It is important to remember though that regardless of the facts, time is of the essence. A person charged with DUI only has 10 days from the date of arrest to file for a formal review hearing with the DMV. An attorney will be able to help you to prepare and file the necessary paperwork for this hearing. Depending on the facts, it is possible for the person charged with DUI to have their license returned and have the suspension removed from their record following this hearing.

No matter a person's situation, they should consider contacting an attorney to discuss the facts of their case.
