Clearwater DUI Defense Lawyer
Safeguarding Your Freedom and Future
If a Florida law enforcement officer pulls you over while you are driving and asks you to perform a field sobriety test or a breath test, and you fail, you will be charged with driving under the influence (DUI). A DUI is generally a misdemeanor charge, although when there are aggravating factors, such as an accident, injury, or a minor in the car, it may be charged as a felony. Even without the aggravating factors, a DUI charge is incredibly serious. If convicted, you could go to jail for a year, be placed on probation, have to attend expensive alcohol education classes, and have to do community service. In addition, there are thousands of dollars in court fees and fines that you will have to pay. A Clearwater DUI defense attorney at Leavengood & Nash may be able to help you avoid these harsh consequences.
