First-Time DUI Penalties in Tampa
One of the most challenging things about a DUI conviction is that it doesn't just come with a simple fine or suspension-- it comes with multiple penalties that can greatly interrupt the life of the accused. Depending on the severity of the driving incident, Florida state law may also provide augmented penalties against a driver, as well.
Possible penalties for a first-time DUI in Florida include:
- Probation
- Community service
- Vehicle impoundment
- Fine between $500 and $1000
- Maximum jail time of six months
- Minimum license suspension of 180 days
If your blood alcohol content (BAC) was .15% or greater, these penalties may be greater. Many of these penalties are at the judge's discretion, which is why it is important to have knowledgeable and compelling counsel by your side. At Taracks & Associates, our Tampa attorney knows what issues to look for in these cases when pursuing a reduction or dismissal and always ensure that our clients' rights and interests remain a priority.
