Naples DUI Attorneys
DUI Overview
DUI stands for “driving under the influence.” This is a serious criminal offense which is most often charged as a misdemeanor, except in certain circumstances (such as multiple DUI offenses or DUI causing serious bodily injury) where it will be charged as a felony. A driver may be classified as driving under the influence if he or she:
- Has a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater
- Has normal physical/mental abilities which are impaired due to alcohol and/or drugs
Why a Lawyer?
A Naples DUI lawyer will play an important role in helping you avoid a conviction and penalties for drunk driving. This includes during any and all criminal proceedings as well as in regards to your driving privileges, for which an administrative hearing will be held.
Once you are arrested for DUI in Naples, Florida, you have only 10 days to schedule a hearing regarding the suspension of your driver’s license. This hearing is often called a DMV hearing or DHSMV hearing. If you A) do not schedule this hearing within 10 days of your arrest, or B) lose the hearing, your driver’s license will be suspended. This will occur regardless of the outcome of your criminal case.
