The next time you are considering driving after a few drinks, ask yourself if you have $10,000 to spare. DUI's in Florida are EXPENSIVE.
First there are court costs, which have gone up significantly in the past few years. Then there are costs of probation, cost of DUI school, cost to have your driver's license reinstated (click here for DHSMV reinstatements), cost of the ignition interlock control device (click here for pricing), cost to maintain the device, cost to get to work because your driver's license is suspened, increased insurance premiums, costs of alcohol treatment and evaluation. Notice I didn't include cost of an attorney. My husband, Daniel Pawuk, who has significant DUI trial experience starts at about $2000.
Here's something to think about, I got this ad from a former client who now owns a cab service:
THEIRS
MINE
Your Choice.
The advertisement was altered to protect the identity of my client.
