If you have
been arrested for drunk driving, you are
probably wondering what will happen next. A
DUI conviction can result in significant
fines, required class attendance and an
increase in your insurance rates. It can
lead to jail time, depending on previous
convictions and your blood alcohol level
(BAC).
Representing You at a DHSMV License
Hearings
Most people's
immediate concern after a DUI arrest is the
restoration of their driver's license. Your
driving privileges may be revoked unless you
request a hearing before the Department of
Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 10 days of your
arrest. Mr. Rabby is qualified to take care
of all details related to DMV hearings.
Investigating the Prosecution's/ Police
Case
Our first step
in defending you against DUI charges is to
investigate whether the police made any
errors or wrongful stop. We determine
whether the tests were administered
correctly, whether law enforcement had
probable cause to conduct the traffic stop
and to make sure that your rights were not
violated. Our attorneys once taught
prosecutors how to try DUI cases. This
experience helps our clients — we know where
to look for weaknesses.
Common concerns after a DUI arrest include:
•Should I pay
the other traffic ticket that I got with my
DUI ticket?
•What if I live
out of state - do I have to come back to
Florida for a court appearance?
•Could the DUI
affect my insurance rates?
•If a video of
my field sobriety test was made, how will it
be used?
•Am I able to
drive while my charges are pending?
•Can I get a
hardship license?
•Should I have
taken the breath test or refused it?
•How long will
this case take?
•How much will
it cost?
•What if I have
a previous DUI?
•What if I
damaged property and/or injured someone?
Could I go to jail?
Every DUI case is different, and the
response to these questions differs
accordingly. If you have been charged with a
