When arrested in Florida for a DUI, there are really two cases at issue. One being the Administrative portion (FDHSMV) and the second being the Criminal aspect (Court). Let an experienced Florida Dui Lawyer help guide you through both:

If you have been arrested for a DUI in Florida, and you refused to take a breath, blood or urine test, OR if you took the test and your result is 0.08% or higher, you have only 10 days to request a special hearing with the FDHSMV to save your license. Failure to timely request a hearing will result in at least a six-month suspension (and as much as an 18-month suspension) of your Florida driving privileges. You can also have a Florida Dui Lawyer help you with the special hearing.

Under Florida law, DUI is one offense, that can be proved in one of two ways: drunk driving can be proved by impairment of normal faculties, or unlawful blood alcohol or breath alcohol level of .08% or above. Florida DUI penalties upon conviction are the same, regardless of the manner in which the offense is proven.

The consequences for a Florida DUI are serious and far-reaching. They include fines, jail, and administrative license suspensions from the court. They also can include license suspensions, separate and apart from those imposed by the court, which are imposed by FDHSMV.
