DUI Lawyer in Miami: Prior Convictions

2nd, 3rd or 4 th DUI Charges in Miami

Driving under the intoxication of alcohol or another controlled substance such as marijuana, cocaine, prescription medication and other drugs is a serious offense in Florida, and carries with it some very strict penalties. For those drivers who have been arrested for DUI and have prior convictions, however, the consequences can be truly disastrous. Florida law is not kind to those with multiple DUI convictions, and the penalties can quickly grow to felony DUI levels which include extended years in prison, very steep fines and complete license revocation. If you have multiple DUI arrests and face a new charge, talk with a Miami criminal defense attorney about your options for defense.

Having multiple DUI arrests on your record can lead to a variety of problems. In these cases, the prior record of an intoxicated motor vehicle driver can actually work against them and provide a good indicator to law enforcement that the driver may be driving under intoxication once more. A field sobriety test or test to measure blood alcohol content should also be administered, and these elements may combine to provide a good indicator to the court that a conviction may be the right move. It can be difficult to defend against multiple DUI issues without aggressive legal counsel, and many who do not make a fast decision to get a quality attorney for their defense, might expect to face maximum fines and penalties.
