DUI
Central Florida DUI/DWI LawyerIf you or someone you know has been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) or for driving under the influence causing serious bodily injury, an experienced DUI defense lawyer can help protect your rights and keep your record clean. At the Cao Law Firm, we have extensive experience handling DUI and other criminal law cases. Even if it's a first offense, DUI misdemeanor penalties are serious and can include up to one year in jail. First and second degree felony charges resulting from accidents and injuries, as in DUI manslaughter, can carry significant jail time and thousands of dollars in fines. On top of that there is the automatic suspension of your driver's license. Contact Central Florida DUI/DWI lawyer Tony D. Cao today for a free initial consultation and aggressive DUI defense. A DUI conviction in Florida stays on your criminal record permanently. It may result in automatic driver's license revocation or suspension, jail time, and hefty fines, among other ramifications. If a DUI is on your record, you can expect that your insurance rates will increase significantly, and to be forced to buy special auto insurance mandated by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). A DUI conviction also can negatively affect future employment opportunities. Under Florida's DUI-three strikes law, repeat DUI offenses within a certain amount of years will be charged as felonies. After four DUI convictions, offenders permanently lose their license. Failure to request a hearing within 10 days of your Florida DUI arrest will result in the automatic suspension of your driver's license. Act quickly, as we may be able to help you protect your driver's license or obtain a DUI hardship license to drive to and from work.
