Florida DUI Laws and Penalties
Under Florida Statutes § 316.193, a person is guilty of DUI if operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or higher, or while impaired by alcohol, controlled substances, or prescription medications. Penalties can include:
- Driver’s license suspension
- Jail or probation
- Ignition interlock devices
- Vehicle impoundment
- Substance abuse education or treatment
Challenging the Evidence in DUI Cases
We thoroughly examine the legality of the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, breathalyzer procedures, and probable cause for arrest. If your rights were violated, we will file motions to suppress critical evidence. Our team is skilled in challenging:
- Improperly conducted roadside tests
- Inaccurate BAC readings
- Unlawful police conduct
- Lack of evidence or inconsistent officer reports

We handle both the criminal case and the administrative DHSMV license suspension hearing. Timely action is essential—you have only 10 days from arrest to request a formal review of your license suspension.
