DUI Charges in Florida
In Florida, driving under the influence is defined as operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher, or impaired by a chemical substance or controlled substance. The penalties for a conviction depend on the severity of the crime, whether this is the first offense, and other factors. Serious offenses that involve property damage, serious bodily injury, repeat offenses, or vehicular homicide result in harsher punishments.
A person arrested for DUI may be charged with:
- Misdemeanor DUI
- Felony DUI
- Manslaughter
- Vehicular homicide
Florida takes DUI seriously, even if it is the first offense. A first conviction will result in penalties that include mandatory DUI school before your driver’s license can be reinstated. Due to the potential for serious consequences, it is important to hire an experienced attorney to represent you in court. Jeffrey S. Weiner has successfully represented many clients in DUI cases over his more than 45 years in practice.
