FAQs

Will I be presumed guilty if my blood alcohol level is 0.08% or higher?

The United States Constitution sets forth our rights as citizens for the courts to hold a presumption of guilt against a defendant. Our government must prove its case beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. However, if the prosecutor is able to prove in court that you had 0.08% or more by weight of alcohol in your blood and you were operating a motor vehicle, then the court will determine that prima facie evidence exists to prove that you were under the influence.

Can I beat a DUI if I blew over the legal limit?

Yes. There are very tight regulations, processes, and procedures and strict maintenance which apply to the machines used by law enforcement to determine if an individual is tested over the legal limit in a DUI case. Failure to properly maintain the equipment, or conduct tests in accordance with standard testing procedures can result in the testing being inadmissible in court proceedings.

What are first-degree misdemeanors in Florida, and what are the associated penalties?

First-degree misdemeanors in Florida are punishable by up to one year in jail, up to 12 months of probation, and a fine up to $1,000. Examples of first-degree misdemeanors include DUI, driving with a suspended license, battery, possession of drug paraphernalia, vandalism, and shoplifting.

What constitutes a Second-degree Felony in Florida, and can you give an example?

Second-degree Felonies in Florida involve offenses like burglary to a dwelling. Understanding the specific charges and potential consequences is vital for those accused of second-degree felonies.

What constitutes a Third-degree Felony in Florida, and can you provide examples of offenses falling under this category?

Third-degree Felonies in Florida are the least serious offenses, and include offenses like grand theft, felony battery, and a third-time DUI within ten years of a prior DUI conviction. Familiarizing yourself with the nature of these charges and seeking legal advice is important for individuals facing third-degree felony charges.
