Arrested for DUI in Orlando? Former Prosecutors From Your Area Are Ready to Defend You.

Q: What's the difference between a DUI and a DWI?

While the exact definitions vary by state, DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) both refer to operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Some states treat them as separate offenses based on blood alcohol content (BAC), while others use the terms interchangeably.

Q: What should I do immediately after being arrested for a DUI or DWI?

Stay calm and exercise your right to remain silent. Avoid discussing your case with law enforcement without an attorney present. Contact a qualified DUI or DWI lawyer as soon as possible to begin building your defense and protect your driving privileges.

Q: Can I lose my license after a DUI or DWI arrest?

Yes. In most cases, a DUI or DWI arrest triggers both a criminal case and an administrative license suspension. You often have a limited time to request a hearing to challenge the suspension. Acting quickly with a defense attorney can help preserve your license.

Q: Do I have to take a breath or blood test if I'm pulled over?

Most states have implied consent laws, meaning drivers agree to chemical testing by obtaining a driver's license. Refusing a test can result in an automatic license suspension and may be used against you in court. Always consult an attorney before deciding how to proceed.

Q: Will a DUI or DWI appear on my criminal record?

Yes. A conviction typically becomes part of your permanent criminal record, which can affect employment, housing, and insurance rates. However, in some cases, your attorney can help you pursue record sealing or expungement once eligibility requirements are met.

Q: How can an attorney help with my DUI or DWI case?

An experienced defense attorney will analyze the evidence, identify errors in testing or procedure, negotiate with prosecutors, and represent you in court. The right lawyer can make a significant difference in achieving a favorable outcome.
