I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.
How Many DUIs in FL Will Revoke My License?
Driving under the influence is a serious offense in Florida. You can only accrue so many tickets for DUI before your license will be revoked.
However, you may wonder how many it takes to reach this point and if your license can be revoked on the first offense. You can protect yourself legally by retaining an experienced Palm Harbor DUI attorney from the Law Office of Robert Eckard & Associates.
Avoiding Revocation on a First Offense
Most first-time DUIs in Florida are punished with light sentences like fines and community service. However, depending on the circumstances, the judge assigned to your case could entertain the possibility of revoking your license on a first DUI conviction.
You need to convince the judge to let you keep your license and instead punish you some other way. Rather than argue for yourself, you can hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Palm Harbor to represent you.
Your lawyer can present arguments and evidence to show that you are not a dangerous DUI offender and someone who can be reformed without losing your license. Your lawyer may be able to convince the judge or jury to give you community service, a fine or possibly even a minimal jail sentence. When you serve your sentence, you would still retain the right to drive.
Multiple DUI Representation
If you have multiple DUIs on your record, you still may not want your license suspended. Your lawyer can ask the court for another sentence like finishing a substance abuse program or therapy. He or she may convince the judge that you will be a safer driver once you complete this alternative sentence and that you do not deserve having your license taken away from you.
