Understanding Florida DUI Laws

Florida law defines DUI as operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the extent that normal faculties are impaired, or with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or higher.

However, you can be arrested for DUI even if:

• Your BAC is below .08%, but law enforcement believes you are impaired.

• You were not driving at the time, but were in “actual physical control” of the vehicle (e.g., keys in the ignition, engine running).

Penalties increase with prior DUI convictions, property damage, personal injury, minor passengers, or an excessively high BAC (0.15% or more).

Common DUI Penalties in Magnolia Park and Palm Beach County

A DUI conviction—especially without strong legal representation—can result in:

First DUI Offense:

• Up to 6 months in jail (9 months if BAC was 0.15+ or a minor was present)

• License suspension (6–12 months)

• Fines from $500 to $1,000

• Mandatory DUI education program

• Probation and community service

• Possible ignition interlock device

Second DUI Offense:

• Increased fines and penalties

• Mandatory interlock device

• Vehicle impoundment

Third DUI or Felony DUI:

• Felony charges with prison exposure

Convictions stay on your record and may impact employment, insurance rates, and professional licenses.

Our DUI Defense Strategy: What We Do to Fight for You

At the Law Offices of John Olea, P.A., we take a proactive, evidence-driven approach to building your DUI defense:

• Review Legality of the Stop – Did the officer have reasonable suspicion or probable cause?

• Challenge Field Sobriety Testing – Was it conducted properly? Was the officer certified?

• Analyze Chemical Testing Procedures – We review breath, blood, and urine test results for inaccuracies or machine maintenance failures.

• Investigate Constitutional Violations – We’ll challenge any violations of your Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Amendment rights.

• File Pretrial Motions – Suppress unlawfully obtained evidence or argue to dismiss the charges outright.

• Negotiate or Fight at Trial – We negotiate for favorable plea deals, alternative sentencing, or vigorously defend you in court if necessary.

Even in difficult cases, we often find errors or weaknesses that open the door to reduced penalties—or complete dismissal.
