DUI minimum mandatory penalties

Ft. Lauderdale DUI Attorney Adam Harmelin

If you are convicted of DUI in the state of Florida, the legislature has enacted specific minimum mandatory penalties. These penalties increase if you are convicted of a 2nd or subsequent DUI offense. However, for a 1st offense DUI conviction, you are facing fines, court costs, probation, driver license revocation, DUI school (including evaluation and possible follow-up treatment) and a 10-day vehicle immobilization. In addition to these mandatory court penalties, a DUI conviction may result in higher insurance costs, jail time, AA meetings, vehicle interlock devices and/or deportation if you are not a U.S. citizen.
