Florida Felony Level DUI

Although all DUI charges are serious and have grave consequences, felony level charges can have the most significant impact on your life.
In Florida, there are three different types of felony DUI:

DUI manslaughter
A fourth or subsequent DUI
A DUI causing serious bodily injury

Defense of felony level DUIs differs from defense of misdemeanor level DUIs in a multitude of ways, particularly in cases involving serious bodily injury.

Defense of Cases Involving DUI Manslaughter

In the defense of DUI manslaughter cases, we carefully review all aspects of the facts that lead to the accident. This includes utilizing accident reconstruction experts, conducting simulations of the accident and developing evidence that illustrates the consumption of alcohol was not the cause of death.

Defense of Cases Involving a Fourth or Subsequent DUI

We review the elements of the underlying DUI and look for any potential defenses. We also review the previous convictions to ensure they can be properly entered into evidence.

Defense of Cases Involving Bodily Injury

In order to be charged with DUI involving serious bodily injury, you must have caused severe bodily injury to an innocent motorist, cyclist or pedestrian, or committed vehicular homicide. In these cases, it is absolutely imperative for us to prove that you were not the reason the person was injured. Attempting to do this, however, requires a thorough investigation into the accident and the extent of any injuries.
If serious bodily injury or death occurs in a motor vehicle accident, the police can draw your blood without your consent. However, if their collective actions or thoughts at the scene of the accident indicated that they did not believe the person was critically injured, they were not permitted to draw your blood and it cannot be properly admitted as evidence at trial. We will carefully examine the circumstances surrounding the accident to determine if law enforcement officials acted appropriately in drawing your blood.
