Florida charges DUIs as either misdemeanors or felonies based on the circumstances. If this is your first or second DUI charge, it is a misdemeanor unless there are aggravating factors. While you might feel relieved to just have been charged with a misdemeanor, the penalties include up to six months in jail, a one-year license suspension, and a fine of up to $1,000. Thus, it is vital to take misdemeanor DUI charges seriously.
The state can upgrade your charge to a felony DUI under certain conditions. First, you will face a felony DUI charge if this is your third DUI within the last 10 years or fourth DUI in any timeframe. Finally, DUI manslaughter is a felony, even if it is the first time you have been charged with driving under the influence. The potential sentences vary based on the degree of the felony and can include years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
Because the consequences are so severe, it is important to have representation by your side. Thus, reach out to our Fort Lauderdale DUI defense attorney to discuss a legal strategy.
Many people think they have to be found guilty of a DUI to lose their license, but that is not the case. In fact, the state will automatically suspend your license 10 days after the arrest unless you request a hardship license or an administrative hearing. Many people choose to apply for a hardship license so they can continue to drive to work. However, your Fort Lauderdale DUI lawyer might discover that an administrative hearing to request full driving privileges makes sense for your case.
With so little time to act, contact our firm today. We can discuss your options and then take steps to help you maintain your driving privileges.

Law enforcement will ask you to submit to a breathalyzer test when you are arrested for a DUI. While many people are afraid to take the test, refusing has consequences. Upon refusing a breath, blood, or urine test, your license will be suspended for 12-18 months due to the refusal. Fortunately, there are legal steps you can take if you have already refused a breathalyzer. Contact our DUI defense attorney in Fort Lauderdale to learn more.
