What Should Be Florida DUI Defense Costs

Reader’s Question:

My daughter was charged with DUI here in Florida for the first time. I was told that most of first time offenders don’t hire a DUI lawyer to represent them in court? I would still want to hire one for my daughter to make sure that she can have all the help she can get. If we will be hiring a DUI lawyer, how much does a Florida defense cost?

An arrest under DUI may mean having an everlasting criminal record, loss of license, fines, community service, vehicle immobilization, higher insurance rates and may even include imprisonment.

Several official procedures are involved when arrested for DUI. Individuals could hire services of a good DUI lawyer under these circumstances who would be able to provide good defense and prevent or minimize conviction charges. These lawyers are familiar with procedures for breath tests, urine analysis and blood analysis. They will guide their clients through such procedures with minimum discomfort.

Don’t be surprised that services from an efficient and expert DUI lawyer may generally come at a price. It is often seen that many high profile DUI lawyers charge exorbitant fees for defending their clients. Years of experience and confidence of winning the case lead them to charge such high rates. To give you a general idea on the cost of a Florida DUI lawyer, it could range from $500 to thousands in case if a repeat offense.
