A DUI is different from state to state, whereas different states have different laws and different towns in the same state even handle DUI's differently.

For the most part, if there was nobody hurt as the result of an accident and it was his first DUI, than they will likely want him to attend a traffic school type of course, they will also impose a small fine and likely he will have to go to court 2 or 3 times depending on how quickly he does all of the things that the judge asks for.

I've never had a DUI personally, but I had to help get a few people out of them. They had to attend 10 hours of drving school in a small group, then one large class and a small fine, about $200 or so.

If you get a lawyer, you will be out a good $2500.00 or so and he will likely just repeat whatever the judge says. Unless you get a very good lawyer, who is very experience in these matters.

He will certainly get bombarded with a ton of mail from lawyers, because they seem to get mailing lists of people who just got DUI's and send out mail solicitations, but have him call more then one, sometimes the first lawyer that you call isn't too great.

Just interview with a few, they will discuss the specifics of your case, what kind of evidence they have, how strong of a case the state has and tell you what your options are, use your gut instince about the lawyer.


Also make sure that he notes when his temporary license expires, they usually give him a paper when they take his license telling him that.
If he doesn't complete all of the requirements before the expiration, he can petition the court for an extension, that way he can keep driving.
And if the car was impounded, take it out immediately! They can charge up to $200/day! So that can add up.

Good luck

A first time conviction of drunk driving in Florida will result in up to 6 months in jail. If a minor was in the vehicle at the time of the arrest, or if the driver had a BAC of .20 percent or higher, a sentence of no more than 9 months in jail will be issued. Unless the family of the DUI has no other means of transportation the vehicle will be impounded for 10 days. The convicted driver will also receive a fine of no less than $250 and no more than $500. If the driver's BAC was .20 percent or higher or there was a minor in the vehicle the fine will be no less than $500 and no more than $1,000. A drivers license suspension of 6 months. You will also need to do 50 hours of community service or pay $10 for every hour of community service given. You must also complete DUI school as directed by the court.

He needs to hire a criminal attorney... what part of FL?? I am in North Florida and could give a reffereal for the best...

back to your topic... if they have a clean record it depends on what happened when he was arrested... was he given a breathalizer? did he refuse? did he do a field sobriety exercise?

the worst is 6 months licence suspension, fines, classes

Unfortunately I've had three. Now as long as he had a good record
prior then most likely he'll get a PBJ (probation before judgement)
fines and court cost........

An old man once told me that the very best way to stay outta trouble was to do nothing wrong ?

I hope he gets what he deserves! At a minimum should serve a year in jail and lose license for 1yr following release. There is no excuse! I believe that some of our laws are to lenient and some always gets off easy and doesnt learn from it then turns around and kills someone later. 99% of individuals that get DUIs planned to do it bc they know they will be drinking prior to going out. Once you open your car drunk you choose to take a chance on taking a life.

Sort a. It's more lke a year unsupervised probation. But if he fucks up
durng that period he'll get that time in jail and lose his license.

I’m with Stevo
Mistakes are mistakes , but doing something that you knew wasn’t right is not a mistake.
It is not “mis taken” it was very well taken, when he knew very well he had to drive home with a belly full of booze or drugs.
I have had two dumb ass friends who are dead now because they were foolish enough to drive impaired.
All I can say is I’m glad they didn’t kill someone’s family when he killed himself.
How would you feel mister if some dumb drunk asshole killed your little baby ,wife ….They would have killed your life as well.
Right ?
Being F*#ked up while driving is definitely no mistake !
It is a deliberate action of selfishness.
Not giving a damn about yourself much less about the innocent people around you.
All I got to say is if a drunk, hurt/lamed/killed one of my loved one the MF’er would suffer endless pain until he finally gave up the fight and died .
And damn his disgusting soul !

Excuse me !
After this I gotta go get a drink !
Protein shake that is !

But. For pete’s sake ppl !
It is real easy to take a life , but impossible to replace.
Don’t drive stoned !

You wouldnt make comments like that if you had someone killed by Drunk Driving. Thats not a mistake thats be irresponsible. We all screw up and we all should have to pay the consequence. Most on here would say the same when buying gear.

Well there's different standards I go by, Someone who's
had 2 beers after dinner, and an idiot that polshes off half
bottle of Jack Daniels, Yes you should know your limit and be responsable
but I've had friends who've been arrested and a record for the rest of
there life for two glasses of wine after dinner. I understand where your
coming from and will agree to a point.
Answer to your queston......... I'd hang the bastard from the nearest
tree

I apologize! I have confronted a few drunk drivers and all seem to be ignorant of what they are doing wrong but with all do respect almost all believe there ok to drive. In your friends case I believe they law screwed him as with other laws like having a opened beer can in the trunk or something when obvious the person isnt drinking. Again Sorry buddy for my quick negative reaction, my wife gets on to me about that all the time.
