Out-Of-State DUI Attorney Miami
I live out of state or have an out-of-state license. What do I do now?
Motorists can be arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) no matter what state they are in at the time. Each state has its own laws and criminal process for those who are charged with DUI; therefore, if you are arrested for drunk driving in Florida, but you have a license from another state, you will have to go to trial in Florida and pay their fines. When an out-of-state driver is arrested for DUI, the state of Florida will automatically assign that person a Florida driver’s license number.
Beckham Law Firm, may be able to get the defendant a temporary driving permit, even if he or she never had a Florida license to begin with, although the requisite suspension times will able to the person’s Florida driving privilege.
Our firm has been able to represent out of state (and out of the country) clients all the way through their cases by waiving their presence in court. As DUI is a misdemeanor, an attorney can waive the presence of any out-of-state defendant through the appropriate motions, contact us today.
