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 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.

Refusal to submit to a breath, urine, or blood test in a DUI case is admissible as evidence (although it may still be in your interest to refuse). The Florida legislature has recently gone a step further and passed a new law making a second such refusal to take a blood-alcohol test a crime in itself. Although no lawyer can guarantee the outcome of your case, you should know that attorney Stephen Wolverton has not lost a DUI jury trial--whether the sobreity test was failed or refused--in the last 4½ years.*

Beyond the serious consequences of driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs and the stigmaof being known
as a drunk driver, you may face other criminal charges.
If you were driving while your license was suspended 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 a first offense, you may might 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.
