Why You Should Take a Florida DUI Charge Seriously
Florida aggressively prosecutes DUI offenses, and even a first-time conviction can carry serious consequences.
A DUI conviction may result in:
Jail time
Probation
Driver’s license suspension
Expensive fines and court costs
Mandatory DUI school
Community service requirements
Increased insurance rates
A permanent criminal record
Travel and employment consequences
For tourists and visitors, the situation becomes even more stressful because the arrest occurred far from home.
That is why having a local Florida Keys DUI defense attorney matters.
