The Law Offices of Don Pumphrey, Jr.

DUI

A DUI arrest doesn’t always mean a DUI conviction. We have extensive experience in defending DUI charges and have earned certification from the National College for DUI Defense. Our aggressive approach could make the difference for you.

There are many possible resolutions to a DUI arrest including dismissal of charges, reduction to lesser charges, motion to suppress evidence, plea bargains, or a jury trial. If you’re found guilty of driving under the influence, possible sentences include jail time, a minimum six-month drivers license suspension, community service, probation, DUI school, alcohol-abuse evaluation and treatment, fines and court costs, and a mandatory 10-day vehicle impoundment.

What You Need to Know:

• You have 10 days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative hearing in order to prevent suspension of your driver’s license.
• Any person who operates a motor vehicle in this state is subject to the “implied consent law.” This means that by driving in Florida, you are consenting to sobriety tests, which include breathalyser tests, blood and urine testing.
• The “implied consent law” DOES NOT require a person to submit to field sobriety tests.
• Refusal to take a breath test will land you a 1-year license suspension the first time you refuse and 18 months the second time and the prosecutor can use your refusal against you at trial.
