Orlando DUI
Fight to avoid fines & penalties with a drunk-driving lawyer
Florida drunk driving convictions carry serious penalties that have lasting effects on your life. If you are arrested for drunk driving, the best way to maintain the quality of your life before the arrest is to avoid conviction.
Orlando DUI attorney John Namey, defends motorists and motorcyclists who are charged with misdemeanor or felony DUI in Orlando and the surrounding towns in central Florida.
How serious is a DUI?
Many people believe that a drunk-driving charge is a minor ordeal, but it’s rare for someone convicted of an Orlando DUI to get away with less than $5000 in total fines, fees, surcharges, and expenses.
Consider just the initial conviction expenses without expenses related to probation, mandatory classes, insurance surcharges, or DMV fees:
- First conviction: Not less than $500 or, in other circumstances, not less than $1000; 50 hours of community service or an additional $500
- Second conviction: Not less than $1000 or, in other circumstances, not less than $2000; mandatory imprisonment of at least 10 days
- Third conviction: Not less than $2000 or, in other circumstances, not less than $4000; mandatory imprisonment of at least 30 days
Now, calculate the potential loss of income while handling the charge, the additional expenses in transportation, and the value of any effects criminal convictions may have on your career or your ability to gain entry to schools that may help your career.
The cost of that DUI charge could be tens of thousands of dollars. Younger people have even more to lose—the length of time the effects of a DUI might compound is longer, and, for minors, assuming juvenile charges have little or no impact is an unfortunate mistake.
