A DUI conviction in Florida can result in license suspension, fines, jail time, and a permanent criminal record. At John Grace Law, P.A., we represent individuals accused of driving under the influence in Jacksonville, Duval County, and surrounding areas. Whether this is your first offense or you’re facing a felony DUI, we are ready to protect your rights and fight for your future.

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

Administrative and Criminal DUI Proceedings

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.
