Adjudication and Sentencing - s. 316.656, F.S., s. 322.2615 F.S.
According to Florida Statutes, judges must follow the administrative driver's license suspension and revocation periods as mandated by statute. The courts may not withhold adjudication in DUI cases and may not reduce a DUI charge if the defendant's blood alcohol level was .15% or greater.
A skilled attorney can make all the difference in the penalties that a driver faces for DUI. By providing aggressive defense strategies and proving that a driver's blood alcohol level was below .015% or below the legal limit, an attorney can help a driver avoid a conviction altogether.
