Driving under the influence (DUI) is taken very seriously by law enforcement officers and court authorities around the state. Even a single conviction can turn your life upside down. Repeated DUI offenses are prosecuted even more harshly and may be classified as felonies with the risk of imprisonment. While being charged with a DUI might feel isolating, you do not have to take on this legal process alone.

With an expert defense attorney in your corner, you can fight your charges head-on and pursue the best possible case result. Whether this is your first charge or you have prior convictions on your record, representation from an award-winning Pembroke Pines DUI lawyer at Rossen Firm can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. Our team has extensive experience and a track record of successful results for people like you.

First-Time DUI Charges

According to Florida Statutes § 316.193, someone is illegally driving under the influence if they operate a car while having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or more. Police officers can use blood or breath testing to make an exact determination of whether someone was driving while drunk. They can also use someone’s physical behavior as evidence. However, someone who drives with an unlawful BAC has broken the law regardless of how subjectively “impaired” they are.

The first time someone is convicted of DUI, courts categorize the offense as a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum six-month jail term, a fine between $500 and $1,000, and a license revocation for anywhere from six months to one year. The court may additionally or alternatively sentence someone to community service, a maximum one-year probation term, vehicle impoundment, and mandatory ignition interlock device (IID) installation. It is essential to proactively contest DUI charges with the help of an expert Pembroke Pines attorney from Rossen Law Firm, even as a first-time offender. Just one conviction on your record can lead to dramatically harsher penalties in the future.

Enhanced Penalties for Multiple DUI Convictions

Having prior DUI convictions on your record can lead to enhanced penalties in the event of another arrest. When someone is charged with a second DUI within five years of their first conviction, courts will still classify the case as a misdemeanor. However, a conviction for the second DUI could lead to a mandatory jail sentence of up to a maximum of nine months, a five-year license revocation, and vehicle impoundment for 30 days.

State law treats third and subsequent DUI convictions as felonies, which means that you could face between 30 days and five years in state prison as well as fines of up to $5,000, ten-year license suspension, and 90 days of vehicle impoundment. Guidance from a skilled lawyer is critical for contesting DUI charges in Pembroke Pines when you have prior convictions on your record.

In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible.

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
