1st DUI in Miami

Are you looking for an attorney for a 1st DUI offense in Miami? I will deliver world-class DUI defense representation from a lawyer with a long track record for successful case results. I have devoted my career to the field of DUI defense, and I am very passionate about helping the criminally accused so they have the opportunity to effectively challenge their DUI charges in court.

If this is your first DUI, you are likely curious about what you are up against, and reasonably so. DUI charges are no joke, a conviction can have life-altering consequences. Since most people who are arrested for DUI are normally law-abiding citizens with a lot to lose, I have made it my life’s work to help defendants in every way possible. This way, they can put this in the past and move on to the next chapter in their lives.

The following are the DUI penalties for a first DUI offense in Florida:

• Up to $1,000 in fines, plus court costs
• Mandatory 50 hours of community service, or fine of $10 for each hours of community service required
• Up to 9 months in jail
• 10 days vehicle impoundment
• Maximum 1 year license revocation
• Must complete DUI school

Under § 316.193, F.S., DUI (Driving Under the Influence of Alcoholic Beverages, Chemical Substances, or Controlled Substances), you cannot drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08% or above. In Florida, commercial drivers cannot drive with a BAL of 0.04% or above, and drivers under the age of 21 cannot drive with a BAL of 0.02% or above.

If you are convicted of DUI for a first offense and your BAL was 0.15%, or if you had a minor in your vehicle, you will be required to have an ignition interlock device (IID) installed in your vehicle for at least six (6) months.
