Multiple DUIs in Florida

Handled By Our Gainesville DUI Attorneys

If you have been previously convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), you most likely only faced misdemeanor charges and minimal penalties. A subsequent DUI conviction can result in much more severe penalties, including felony charges. For individuals who are convicted of a second DUI within five years, they face a mandatory minimum 10-day jail sentence.

In addition, a second DUI conviction may result in:

DUI school
Up to nine months in jail
A fine between $1,000 and $4,000
Mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device
Suspended driver’s license for up to five years (can be reduced to one)

In general, DUI charges may be elevated to more serious charges under certain circumstances. These include cases where there was an accident involving damage to property, an accident inflicting harm upon an individual, a DUI while a minor was in the vehicle, and more.

In order to fight these charges and help avoid these serious penalties, contact experienced representation right away.
