DUI Defense
In Florida, driving with a BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) level of 0.08% or higher is illegal. In the event you are stopped by a law enforcement officer, you may be arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence). Typically, the officer will need to determine whether or not you are under the influence by administering one or more field sobriety tests. The tests can range from a Walk-and-Turn test, to a more extensive test such as a blood, breath or urine test. Refusal to perform any of these tests when asked by the officer will most likely result in your immediate arrest, being booked in a county jail for DUI, and suspension of your drivers license.
A DUI arrest in Miami is only the beginning of your legal problems if you’re caught operating a motor vehicle while impaired. Penalties for DUI in Florida can be severe due to the fines, potential jail time and loss of your driver’s license involved in a conviction. If there was an accident involved you’re facing civil penalties and lawsuits as well.
