Kissimmee DUI Defense Attorney and
Lawyer, providing
experienced DUI Defense
and other Criminal Defense legal
services in Kissimmee,
Orlando, and the Central
Florida area.
 When
a person has been arrested for driving
under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the possibility of jail
or prison time is always a concern, as well as the potential loss on
his or her driving privileges. Those arrested and/or charged of a
criminal DUI offense should seek experienced legal counsel for
representation and guidance through what may be a difficult legal
process.
A DUI (driving under
the influence) is a criminal act which involves a person
operating an automobile, motorcycle, truck, or other form of
transportation while under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs,
controlled substances, or any other substance which may impair your
ability to safely operate a vehicle.
You
only have 10 days from the date of a DUI arrest to request an
administrative hearing with the department of motor vehicles.
At this point the accused may request to be granted hardship driving
privileges while actively involved in the defense of DUI charges.
The
León
Law Center,
P.A.,
represents the legal rights and goals of those involved in
DUI
or other
criminal defense issues in Kissimmee,
Orlando, Osceola County, Orange County, and the entire
Central Florida area. For a
confidential legal consultation, please call
407.483.1182.
A person may be arrested for a DUI even if he or she
is sitting in the vehicle with the keys in the car, provided the
individual's Blood Alcohol level is above the legal limit. Additionally, driving under the
influence charges are not relegated to just motor vehicles. A person
may be arrested for a DUI while on a bicycle, moped, golf cart,
or while operating any other form of transportation. While it may
seem excessive, law enforcement and prosecutors tend to strictly
enforce the laws regarding a DUI while a person is under the influence of
any substance that has the potential to cause property damage,
injuries, or death.
Florida
statues reference mandatory prosecution if the accused
has been
found to be driving:
-
With a
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08% or more;
-
While
impaired by any substance that may affect a person's
ability to safely operate a motor vehicle or other
mode of transportation;
-
With any
presence in your body of a "Schedule 1 drug" or
cocaine.
Depending upon the
charges a person may be facing, a criminal history, and any other special
circumstances, a
criminal conviction may result in:
Hefty fines;
Potential
jail or prison time;
Suspension of your driving privileges;
Having
your license revoked;
Potential
vehicle forfeiture;
Community service;
Lengthy terms of probation;
Potential forfeiture of property or assets;
Forfeiture of certain basic civil
rights.

charges
in
Kissimmee,
Orlando, Osceola County, Orange County, or the
surrounding
Central
Florida area, hiring an experienced
DUI defense attorney or lawyer may provide the best
opportunity to achieve a fair and
