Drunk Diving Defense Lawyers Serving Tampa & Sarasota, Florida

An Overview of DUI Charges

DUI is one of the most common criminal offenses to occur in Florida.  Many Tampa and Sarasota residents have drunk driving charges on their records, and with the large amount of DUI checkpoints scattered randomly throughout the town’s highways, it’s not surprising that many people end up getting arrested for drunk driving.  Considering how common this type of criminal charge is, you would think that it wouldn’t be as serious as it is.  But unfortunately, many people every day find out the hard way that their DUI charges could adversely affect their lives for years to come.

The most common penalty to a DUI conviction is the suspension of the individual’s Florida driver’s license.  This may not seem like an earth shattering consequence, but when you take into consideration how much the average person drives, this consequence can be very tough to deal with.  Due to the spread out geographical set up of many Florida cities, Tampa and Sarasota residents depend on driving to get to work, to provide transportation to children and other family members, and some people even drive for a living.  For those who provide transportation in order to make a living, a DUI could threaten your income and the livelihood of you and your family.
