After a DUI or DWI arrest in Florida, your first priority is protecting your driving privileges. You have only 10 days from the date of arrest to request a DMV hearing or apply for a hardship license that allows limited driving while your case is pending.

“This was my first case with the Umansky Law Firm and they handled everything exceptionally well. My attorney, Quanejha ‘Q’ Erwin, was incredible. She went above and beyond and achieved an outcome I never expected. Professional, caring, and always on top of things. I would recommend her and this firm to anyone facing a difficult situation.”

“Words cannot express how grateful I am that I found Attorney Stephanie Raton for my son. She knew exactly what to do and went above and beyond. My son was in a tough situation in Polk County and she was able to get him out of jail quickly. Amazing team. I would hire them again without hesitation.”

DUI Charges in Florida?
Put Former Prosecutors on Your Side.
A DUI arrest puts your future on the line. We help you understand every option, stay informed at every turn, and build a defense that fits your exact circumstances.
Can You Help Me Get a DUI or DWI Hardship License?
Yes. If this is your first DUI or DWI offense, we can guide you through enrolling in DUI school and applying for either a Work Purposes Only or Business Purposes Only hardship license through the Florida DMV.
Can Jail Time Be Avoided for a Second or Third DUI or DWI in Florida?
In some DUI and DWI cases, jail time may be avoided. The order in which multiple cases are resolved can affect how the court counts prior convictions, which can influence whether mandatory jail penalties apply under Florida law.
What Is the Most Effective Defense Strategy for a DUI or DWI Charge?
Strong DUI and DWI defenses often focus on challenging the legality of the traffic stop, questioning the reliability of Field Sobriety Exercises, and attacking the accuracy or handling of Breathalyzer or blood alcohol content (BAC) test results.
What Are the Penalties for a First-Time DUI or DWI in Florida?
A first-time DUI or DWI conviction in Florida can include fines between $500 and $1,000, up to six months in jail, probation, DUI school, community service, and a driver’s license suspension ranging from 180 days to one year.
