DUI and Traffic Violations
When you need to defend against a traffic ticket or DUI/DWI charge, your attorney should be someone who cares about your case and you, who can walk you through the entire process, without charging you too much.
I opened The Law Office of Kristina Duhaney to give my Fort Lauderdale, Florida, clients quality representation at competitive prices.
DUI Penalties
If you are found to have between .08 and .2 Blood-alcohol-level (BAC) in Florida, you can face the following penalties:
First Offense
- Fines: Between $250 and $500
- Imprisonment: Up to six months
- License Revocation: Six months to one year
Second Offense Within Five Years
- Fines: Between $500 and $1,000
- Imprisonment: Between 10 days and nine months
- License revocation: Five years
Third Offense Within 10 Years of a Prior Conviction
- Fines: Between $1,000 and $2,500
- Imprisonment: Between 30 days and one year
- License revocation: 10 years
Fourth Offense — Felony
The fourth drunk driving offense is considered a felony and includes:
- Fines: Up to $5,000
- Imprisonment: Five years of prison, maximum
- License revocation: Permanent
In most cases, the penalties are higher if you are found to have a BAC over .2.
The DUI Process
I start with an in-depth interview, investigation, and consultation regarding the merits of your case. I will negotiate to reduce charges and get you into a diversion program to minimize the long-term damage. My practice is to never accept a plea at the first court date, but to negotiate for the best deal possible. If the prosecutor does not have a good case, I will fight for you throughout the trial and appeal process.
