In the state of Florida, DUI (driving under the influence) is a crime that is committed when a person operates a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. DWI (driving while intoxicated) is a related offense that is committed when a person operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher.
DUI and DWI are both serious offenses in Florida. A conviction for either offense can result in jail time, fines, and the suspension of your driver's license. If you are convicted of DUI, you may be eligible for a hardship license after serving a period of suspension. A DWI conviction will result in the revocation of your driver's license.
If you have been charged with DUI or DWI, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you navigate the legal process and fight for your rights.
