Florida Law treats DUI as one of its most serious offenses. DUI convictions in Florida require a mandatory adjudication of guilt. This means that the conviction stays with the offender for the rest of his/her life. A DUI conviction can never be expunged or sealed. All DUI convictions in Florida require the mandatory suspension of a driver’s license and all persons arrested for DUI are required to go to jail immediately following their arrest.
Often times, people arrested for DUI are released from custody with only a piece of paper ordering them to appear in Court and they are furnished with no other information concerning their charges. If you are one of those people, our office is here to help you.
