Understanding The Severity Of DUI Charges

While it is not advisable to operate a vehicle after consuming any amount of alcohol, mistakes happen. Even if you believe you are sober enough to drive, a traffic stop can leave you facing charges for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs.

A DUI is a serious criminal charge that merits a strong defense. At the [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-Colucci Law Group”], our fierce trial lawyers will fight to preserve your freedom and protect your driving privileges.

A DUI Can Result In Harsh Penalties

Florida issues strong penalties for DUI convictions. Even a first-time offense can lead to the suspension of your driving privileges. In serious cases, you may even face felony charges, which can make it difficult to secure work or a place to live. Criminal penalties for a DUI can include any of the following:

• Vehicle confiscation
• Installation of an ignition interlock device
• Compulsory alcohol education or treatment program
• Jail time
• Significant fines
• License suspension

A blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 percent is the threshold for a DUI charge in Florida, with higher BAC figures leading to enhanced charges. Multiple offenses can also result in considerable fines and jail time, so a committed defense is paramount in these heightened situations.
