Famous for its orange groves and sunny beaches, Florida is a lovely place to call home. DUI or DWI charges can be extremely serious; they sometimes result in jail time. A Florida DUI lawyer can help those charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) to remain under the bright Florida sun, rather than behind bars. These cases are all taken from a Florida DUI Attorney's files; however, the names have been changed. In the first case, Ed Pettigrew, a Miami-based textile manufacturer, was charged with a DUI while he was driving on a densely populated street in the club-district of Miami. The police officer noticed that Ed was weaving dangerously close to the curb. As Mr. Pettigrew's Florida DUI lawyer pointed out in court, the police officer failed to take a blood sample from Mr. Pettigrew. The officer's oversight, combined with his Florida DUI Attorney's knowledge of sobriety testing methods, saved Ed from jail time. In a second case, Emily Olive, a nineteen year old music student at the University of South Florida, was charged with a DUI when she was driving home from a Battle of the Bands Contest. The police files demonstrated to Ms. Olive's Florida DUI Attorney that she had an extremely high Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). Because Ms. Olive was a minor, her Florida DUI Attorney understood that this high BAC was extremely serious. Since it was a first offense that resulted in no injuries, Ms. Olive did not serve jail time. She did, however, have her license suspended for a year, and she attended mandatory DUI school. Additionally, her Florida DUI Attorney suspected that Ms. Olive was a dependent alcohol user, and, upon the lawyer's suggestion, Ms. Olive started going to Alcohol Anonymous meetings. In the third case, Anthony Westwood, a journalist from Jacksonville, was charged with his fourth DUI in less than five years. Additionally, this incident violated his probation. Mr. Westwood hired more than one Florida DUI lawyer because of the seriousness of the incident. Because Mr. Westwood was a repeat offender, his Florida DUI Attorney could only hope to get him a fair hearing in court; Mr. Westwood would inevitably be serving some jail time. Despite Mr. Westwood's Florida DUI Attorney's best attempts, Mr. Westwood was sentenced to a lengthy jail sentence. As these three examples have demonstrated, the circumstances surrounding a DUI or DWI incident drastically affect both the strictness of the penalty, and the way the Florida DUI Attorney approaches the case. Therefore, all people charged with a DUI or DWI in Florida should choose their Florida DUI Attorney carefully. |
