Mistakes Happen – Especially to Those Not Yet Adults

“Don’t drink and drive.” “Call an Uber; I’ll pay for it.” “You can always call me to come pick you up, no questions asked.” “If you have even one drink, you cannot drive.” 

Time and time again, adults in Florida have shared these words with their children. Unfortunately, not everyone listens; smart kids sometimes do irresponsible things, including drinking and driving.

If you are under the age of 21 and have been arrested for DUI (or have a child who has), now is the time to engage legal assistance.

The State of Florida takes driving under the influence seriously, especially where minors are concerned.

A conviction is more than an inconvenience — it can be life changing. Florida law enforcement places a high priority on keeping the roadways throughout the state safe. Thus, the penalties for driving under the influence are considerable.
