Punishments You Can Face if Convicted
Because Orlando DUI penalties increase with the number of prior offenses a defendant has, it is essential that you have a skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyer.
If you are convicted of a DUI in Florida, you could face the following penalties:
- First offense: Up to $1,000 in fines, 40 hours of community service, six months in jail or a year on probation, 10 days of vehicle impoundment, and between 180 days and one full year of driver's license suspension.

- Second offense: Up to $2,000 in fines, nine months in jail, 30 days of vehicle impoundment, and 180 days to one full year driver's license suspension.

- Third offense: Up to $5,000 in fines, one year of jail time, 90 days of vehicle impoundment, and a minimum of 10 year suspension on your driver's license. It is possible to be convicted of a felony DUI if your third offense is within 10 years.
