The Sooner You Act, the More We Can Do

Driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances — including prescription medication — can lead to a DUI arrest with serious legal consequences.

Even a first offense can result in fines and punishment that includes probation, jail, license suspension, and DUI school. You may receive a jail sentence of up to six months for a first offense, and repeat offenders face even stiffer penalties.

Throughout their careers, our DUI defense attorneys at Fletcher + Fletcher have successfully negotiated numerous reductions of DUI charges down to reckless driving. In other words, our attorneys will do everything they can to ensure you only go to trial if it is absolutely necessary.

And if a trial is necessary — or you decide you want to take your case to trial — our attorneys have decades of combined courtroom experience with acquittals for their clients, and will stop at nothing to fight for your freedom.

What's at Stake

Florida DUI Penalties Escalate Fast

Traffic safety is a major priority for Florida law enforcement — and the penalties reflect it. What you face depends on the circumstances of your arrest and any prior DUI convictions.

1st

First Offense

Misdemeanor DUI
  • Fine between $500–$1,000 (much higher with a BAC of .15%+ or a minor in the vehicle)
  • Mandatory 50 hours of community service
  • Jail time at the court's discretion — up to 6 months
  • License revoked for 180 days up to 1 year
  • Ignition interlock device for 6 months if BAC was .15% or more
2nd

Second Offense

Within 5 Years of Prior
  • Mandatory 10 days in jail
  • 5-year driver's license revocation
3rd

Third Offense

Within 10 Years
  • Up to 5 years in prison
  • Mandatory 10-year driver's license revocation
It can get worse. A fourth or subsequent DUI is a potential felony carrying up to five years in prison and permanent license revocation. A DUI involving serious bodily injury — or death — can trigger sentence enhancements and mandatory minimum prison time, regardless of your prior record.
