Driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, including prescription medications, can lead to a DUI arrest in Florida. As a result, you could face serious legal consequences.
Our Clearwater DUI defense lawyers at Fletcher & Fletcher have dedicated their lives to defending the rights and freedoms of our clients. We’re here to help you tell your side of the story.
Our Clearwater defense attorneys have successfully negotiated numerous DUI reductions to reckless driving charges over the course of our careers and will ensure you only go to trial if it is absolutely necessary (or if you want to go to trial).
The penalties vary depending on the circumstances of your arrest, as well as your prior DUI convictions.
(within 5 years from the previous charge)
(within 10 years)
An individual with their fourth or subsequent DUI offense faces a potential felony conviction and up to five years in prison, as well as a permanent revocation of their drivers license.
Whether or not you have a prior criminal record, DUIs involving serious bodily injury or even death can trigger mandatory minimum prison sentences and enhanced sentence enhancements.
Under the implied consent law in Florida, a first-time refusal to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test results in a 1-year driver’s license revocation. After 90 days of this revocation period, individuals can apply for a hardship license.
