Following the initial DUI arrest, you will have only 10 days to fight the suspension.

A conviction on DUI/DWI charges may result in fines, the revocation or suspension of your driver's license, and possible jail time. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers.

    1. Merten Law Office: Some jurisdictions require that the individual claiming self-defense must retreat from the threat, if possible, prior to responding with force. However, where an individual is responding to a threat using non-deadly force, there is no such duty to retreat. Most states do not require individuals to flee before acting in self-defense where there is an imminent danger of death or severe bodily harm. In addition, most states that require individuals to retreat before responding to a threat with deadly force do not require the retreat if, given the circumstances, the retreat cannot be accomplished safely.

    1. Tager Law Firm: If you or a loved one has been arrested or charged with DUI, the most important call you can make will be to a criminal DUI defense attorney. Violating the Driving Under the Influence (DUI) laws in Florida can bring very severe penalties. There is nothing more important than having an aggressive and experienced Drunk Driving Attorney on your side.An aggressive and experienced DUI attorney may be able to get your DUI charges reduced and in some cases dismissed. If jail time is inevitable, an experienced DUI Lawyer may be able to get this jail time reduced or convince the court to allow a suitable alternative to jail time.

    1. Anthony, Malcomb: You can be arrested for DUI by driving while over the legal BAC in your state or while impaired. But, you need not actually operate the car in order to be arrested. You can still be found guilty if you had the capability and power to dominate, direct, or regulate the vehicle, regardless of whether you were exercising that capability or power at the time of the arrest. In other words, simply sitting behind the wheel with the keys in the ignition can lead to your arrest for DUI by being in actual physical control of the car. Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious crime. If you are arrested and found guilty, the law requires, among other things, that you be convicted, you will lose your license, you will be fined, and the court could put you in jail. Choosing the right DUI Lawyer can determine the outcome of your case and potentially your future.
  75. Port Orange
    Greg Johnson: If I'm stopped by a police officer and he/she asks me if I've been drinking, what should I say? You are not required to answer potentially incriminating questions. There are basically three acceptable alternatives, each with its own potential consequences. One approach would be simply to ask, "Why are you stopping me, Officer?", even if it is at a sobriety checkpoint. When the officer asks, "Have you had anything to drink this evening?", simply say, "Officer, I do not wish to be delayed. Please do not delay me. I want to drive home". If the officer has no other basis to ask you out of the car, you will be on your way. A polite, "I would like to speak with an attorney before I answer any questions", is also an appropriate reply. If you start with that answer, we suggest that you keep on giving that answer until you have consulted with an attorney. A third reply - where appropriate (that means "true") -- might be saying that you had one or two beers. That would not be incriminating as they are not usually sufficient to cause intoxication -- and it may explain the odor of alcohol on the breath. However, it would be sufficient cause for the officer to have you take a field sobriety test.
