DUI & Criminal Traffic Defense

In Broward, Palm Beach & Miami-Dade

DUI charges are taken very seriously in Florida, with mandatory license suspensions, heavy fines, and drastic insurance increases.  This isn’t the time to give up hope though, as there are several things to consider when building a defense.

Driving under the influence, under Florida law, is defined by impairment of normal faculties or unlawful blood alcohol or breath alcohol level of:

  • 0 .08% – adults 21 and over
  • 0.04% – Commercial Vehicle Drivers
  • 0.02% – ages 21 & under

A DUI investigation can start in a few different scenarios. Being pulled over for a traffic infraction and being suspected of driving drunk, a DUI checkpoint, or a crash that results in police arrival. Once the officer begins a DUI investigation, a field sobriety test may be given as well as a Blood Alcohol Test. Both can be used to determine intoxication and both can be used to convict a person on a DUI. Refusing to take a breathalyzer test is a charge all on it’s own, and comes with a mandatory license suspension.

Penalties for DUI’s:

The more DUI’s a person receives the harsher the penalties, and can include:

  • Probation or Jail time
  • Vehicle Immobilization
  • Fines upwards of $1,000
  • Drivers License Suspension
  • DUI School
  • Community Service
Enhanced DUI’s

  1. DUI 1st-4th Offense
  2. DUI Bodily Injury or Property Damage
  3. DUI Manslaughter/Resulting in Death
  4. DUI with Refusal

Traffic Criminal

Criminal traffic issues can be tedious, and are sometimes unintentional. Any of these charges can result in fines, tickets, and suspension or revocation of driver’s license. If habitualized, penalties are exponentially greater.

  • Driving with a suspended license
  • Driving without valid license
  • Reckless driving
  • Hit and run with property damage and no injury
  • Leaving the scene of an accident
