Why it matters in Florida
What a dwi / dui costs in Florida
- Typical fine
- $500–$1,000 first offense ($1,000–$2,000 if BAC .15+ or a minor was in the car)
- License points
- No points — DUI suspends and revokes directly
- Insurance impact
- A Florida DUI conviction typically doubles or triples premiums and requires FR-44 high-limit coverage for three years.
- License risk
- Administrative suspension begins at arrest — you have 10 days to request a formal review; a first conviction brings 180 days to 1 year of revocation, DUI school, and possible ignition interlock.
Frequently asked questions
What is Florida's 10-day rule?
From the date of a DUI arrest you have just 10 days to request a formal review of the administrative suspension or elect a hardship route. Miss it and options disappear — which is why talking to an attorney immediately matters more than anything else.
Why is DUI priced by consultation instead of a flat fee?
Because a DUI is a criminal prosecution built on evidence — the stop, field sobriety exercises, breath or blood results — that has to be reviewed before anyone can honestly tell you what your defense involves. The consultation is where a Florida attorney maps your case and your real options.
What is an FR-44 and why does it matter?
Florida requires DUI offenders to carry an FR-44 filing with liability limits far above normal minimums for three years. It's a major hidden cost of conviction and a big part of why fighting the charge can pay for itself.
Can a first-time Florida DUI be reduced?
Reduction to reckless driving ('wet reckless') or outright suppression-based dismissal happens in the right cases — flawed stops, improper breath test procedures, chain-of-custody problems. Only a case review reveals whether yours qualifies.
