Criminal Defense Attorneys
in Brevard County, Florida

All felonies are serious crimes that can be punished by imprisonment or even death. Although most people understand that there are grave consequences to these crimes, most do not realize just how punitive Florida laws can be.

For example, Florida’s “10-20” LIFE statute increases punishments for felony charges when guns are involved. If a gun was carried in a crime, 10 years will be added to the sentence. 20 years will be added if the gun was used, and 25 years to life in prison will be added if someone was hurt or killed.

No matter what charges you are facing, it is important for you to understand that you have rights, including the right to an attorney. Do not talk to anyone until you talk to a lawyer.

A DUI Can Have a Variety of Serious Consequences

Being pulled over by the police for drunk driving can be a devastating experience. If your blood alcohol level is above the legal limit of 0.08, your license may be revoked by the Department of Motor Vehicles in addition to any criminal charges filed against you. Losing a driver’s license is a serious loss of freedom in Florida, where there is no reliable mass transit system.

Beyond the serious consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and the stigma of being known as a drunk driver, you may face other criminal charges.

If you were driving with a suspended license or while on probation for DUI (also known as DWI in other jurisdictions), additional counts against you may be filed. Additionally, you should be aware that if you are on probation, a DUI will violate your probation and you would face the consequences of that violation of probation.

The penalties for DUI increase each time you are convicted. For example, a first-time offender may be fined as little as $250 and face only six months in jail. However, a second offense has harsher penalties, and a fourth conviction is a felony DUI.

If someone was injured due to your drunk driving, you could be charged with DUI with serious bodily injury, or worse, if it was a fatal accident, you could face a DUI manslaughter charge, a felony in which you could face jail time. The Brevard County DUI Lawyers can help!
