Contact us today to learn why we should be your first choice of legal counsel.

Handling Your DUI with a Past Conviction

Most people are concerned when they get pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol; however, 1st-time offenders have less to worry about than people with more than one prior offense on their criminal record. The severity of the subsequent sentence would be significantly harsher if the previous conviction was also a DUI. If you are facing a 2nd or even a 3rd DUI, you should make sure to call a criminal defense attorney on your behalf.

Florida has particularly harsh laws regarding repeat offenders. The state has adopted an escalating schedule of mandatory fines and maximum jail sentences depending on how many DUIs are already on your record.

The court must adjudicate and sentence a person convicted of a subsequent DUI immediately upon acceptance of a pea or after a guilty verdict. The prior DUI will be known by the prosecutor because it will show up on the accused person’s driving record.

Even a prior boating under the influence (BUI) conviction will count as a previous conviction for enhancing jail sentence and raising fines but not for the purpose of enhancing a driver’s license suspension.

If you have been charged with drunk driving in the state of Florida, don’t hesitate to give our skilled Orlando DUI attorney a call.

Penalties Associates with Multiple DUIs in Florida

Florida uses a five-year lookback period after a first DUI conviction, which means that any charge or conviction for a DUI within the next five years counts as a subsequent or multiple DUI. Lookback periods are then extended to 10 years if the multiple DUI case in Florida ends in conviction.

Penalties for multiple DUIs in Florida are:

  • Second-offense: 9 to 12 months in jail; $1,000 to $4,000 in fines; Minimum 1-year license suspension that can be extended to 5 years; mandatory ignition interlock device (IID) installation
  • Third-offense: Up to 1 year in jail; $2,000 to $5,000 fine; Minimum 2-year license suspension that can be extended to 10 years; IID installation
  • Fourth-offense or more: Escalated to felony conviction, up from misdemeanor; at least 1 year in prison; $5,000+ in fines and fees; 10-year license suspension or possible permanent revocation

Restricted Driving Privileges

A multiple DUI in Florida has a very high chance of taking your driver’s license away through suspension for an extended period of time. For many people, this is the most punishing penalty of the conviction, as it removes their ability to perform necessarily functions in their day-to-day lives, such as going to work or picking up their children from school. With an attorney’s help, it may be possible to acquire a temporary restricted driver’s license. If this is obtained, you will be able to drive to necessary functions and to home; it is advised that you always keep proof in your glovebox of where you are going and why you need to go there, in case you are pulled over.
