severe injury or death, in which case they may be charged as a felony.

Florida’s driving and boating laws and work hard to help our clients

Brief Overview of Florida DUI and BUI Charges
Florida law enforcement officers and courts enforce strict laws and penalties
regarding driving and boating under the influence. Not only will offenders
lose their licenses, but they will face additional penalties such as fines,
jail time, counseling and substance abuse classes, and the impounding
of their vehicle or boat.
DUI and BUI sentencing will depend upon several factors:
- Prior violations
- The age of the driver (whether he or she is under 21)
- If any traffic laws were violated during the infraction
- Whether any children were present
- If an accident and property damage or bodily injury resulted
