South Florida DUI
Attorney
People get arrested every day
in Miami-Dade and Broward County for driving under the
influence (DUI), of drugs or alcohol and other criminal
charges. But being charged with a crime does not make you
guilty of that crime!
The police make mistakes and
procedural errors are common in DUI/DWI and criminal cases. If
you have been arrested for DUI there are improtant decisions
you are going to have to make in a relatively short period of
time.
A DUI charge is not something to be taken lightly. If you
have been arrested for DUI, then you are facing a SERIOUS LIFE
ALTERING EVENT and you need to make some important decisions
immediately! This is why:
- A DUI in Florida is a mandatory criminal
conviction! This is more serious than many
felonies and can affect the rest of your life.
- A conviction means that if you are
guilty of the crime, then your DUI record cannot ever be
erased, sealed or expunged. A DUI doesn't go away. It can
affect your present and future employment, admission to
graduate schools, military options, and insurance
rates.
- A DUI conviction in Florida will cause your
insurance rates to skyrocket to as much as $3,000 to $5,000
per year for the next 3 to 5 years.
- Your driving privileges could be
completely revoked.
These are only a few of the many reasons that a DUI charge
should be fought vigorously. And once you get arrested, there
truly is no time to lose in starting your defense. A DUI
charge in Florida carries with it a mandatory license
suspension, and you only have ten days to appeal that
suspension. Can you imagine trying to get to school, work, shop
for groceries or pick your kids up from school when you have no
driving privileges at all?
If you don't file an appeal within this ten
(10) day period your driver's license will be automatically
suspended and there is nothing you can do about it. The Sooner
you get an attorney on your side, fighting for your rights, the
better.
