Driving Under the Influence in Florida

In Florida, a Driving Under the Influence offense (DUI) is taken very seriously. The laws in Florida are written to take into account the circumstances of the charges, which can in some instances help you, however, the more serious the circumstances, the more serious the charges.

Repeat DUI offenders usually receive higher penalties in the form of fines and possible jail time.

If you have been convicted of a third DUI in Florida within a 10 year period, you will not only be facing a heavy fine, but there may be a mandatory jail term of at least 30 days.

Third Offense Felony DUI Possible Charges in Orlando, FL

The state attorney can choose to prosecute you as a third degree felony instead of a misdemeanor. Because a third DUI carries a mandatory conviction, if you are charged with a felony DUI and lose the case either by plea bargain as charged, or by trial, you will lose civil rights and be classified as a convicted felon.

Third Offense Felony DUI Possible Penalties in Orlando, FL

Depending on the circumstances of your DUI case, the penalties you face can increase rapidly. Penalties increase if while being charged with your DUI you damaged someone else’s property. This property damage will be used against your case to increase the penalties you could face.

For repeat offenders penalties can increase very fast.

For example, if you are convicted of a third DUI within a ten year period, or a fourth DUI at any time, you are facing third degree felony conviction which comes with a $5,000 fine and a jail sentence of up to 5 years.

These penalties can be imposed if you are convicted of another DUI in Florida even without the involvement of an accident or serious injury.

Luckily, DUI attorney Joe Knape is experienced and strategic when it comes to cases such as these; give him a call at 407-508-7774 to see what he can do for you today!
