Cocoa Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

Although DUIs commonly involve the use of alcohol, you can also be charged with a DUI based on your use of:

• Controlled substances
• Drugs
• Pharmaceutical products (such as prescription medications)

DUI Penalties and Penalty Enhancement

Some of the things that we commonly discuss with our clients in regard to the DUI process, DUI penalties and penalty enhancement include:

• The license suspension process
• Determining whether you are eligible or not to obtain a license for business purposes (when your license has been suspended)
• How prior DUI convictions and charges can enhance the penalty for your current DUI, and even make it become a felony.
• How out of state DUIs can be used against you.
• The variety of penalties that exist depending on what your specific situation involves. For example, how the penalties might vary based on taking a breath test or refusal to test.

Although a DUI is often called drunk driving, the legal standard by which DUIs are judged is lower than being drunk. You do not have to be drunk to be charged with a DUI.
