Orlando DUI Lawyer

If you have been pulled over for DUI, you might be worried about the punishments you could face. Unfortunately, these punishments are very severe. Not only is your liberty at stake, but you could also lose your driving privileges, making it nearly impossible to get to work or school.

For these reasons, you need an experienced Orlando DUI attorney by your side from the moment a police officer takes you into custody. At DSK Law, our team of Orlando DUI lawyers vigorously defends those accused of DUI, and we do everything ethically possible to reach a favorable resolution to your case.

Florida DUI Law

It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher. If a driver is under 21, then the driver cannot have a BAC of 0.02 or higher.

Punishments are severe. For example, an adult charged with DUI can face the following:

• Up to 6 months in jail;
• Up to a year of probation;
• Mandatory community service;
• Fines totaling up to $1,000;
• Mandatory license suspension of six months up to a year; and
• Impoundment of a vehicle for at least 10 days.

Punishments only go up if this is your second or third arrest for DUI, in which case you are facing even more time in jail and a longer suspension of your license. It is possible to permanently lose your license if you are convicted of four or more DUI offenses.

If someone suffered serious bodily injury or even death, then you are certainly looking at serious criminal penalties. Instead of settling for the attorney a judge tries to give you, reach out to an experienced DUI attorney in Orlando who has only your best interests at heart.

How to Fight Back

At DSK Law, we don’t employ cookie cutter defense approaches that other firms use. We understand that each case is unique and requires an individualized case assessment so that we can adequately respond to the charges against you. As part of our approach, we can identify which defense works best for you. For example:

• We can challenge the legality of the stop and any subsequent breath or blood test;
• We can challenge the reliability of the test results; and
• We can seek a diversion program for a first-time offender.

Not every case can result in an acquittal. Sometimes a lenient plea deal is the most favorable result you can get. However, we canvass the entire case history to determine what is the most realistic option. We are also more than willing to take your case to a judge and jury to defend you against the charges.
