South Florida DUI Defense Lawyers Win Driving Under the Influence and Probation Violation Case
Outcome of Florida DUI Case:
Chelsea fully complied with her probation officer, and went into detox. She completed four months of treatment and was doing well so we got the prosecutor to agree to reinstate her probation so that she could stay in North Carolina and not have her treatment interrupted. The judge agreed and so her probation was reinstated.
Client Concerns about Florida DUI Charges:
Chelsea was scared she would have to return to Florida and serve jail time. She was looking at 180 days in jail as a max sentence.
Facts on Florida DUI Case:
While in Florida Chelsea D. had been arrested for DUI and worked with another attorney who she wasn't happy with. She pleaded her case in July 2017 and was granted mail-in probation so that she could return to her home in North Carolina. Within 30 days of returning to North Carolina, she got another DUI there (which is the worst thing you can do when you're already on probation for a DUI). So now, not only was Chelsea facing a DUI in North Carolina, but she was also looking at violation of probation charges here in Florida. Chelsea retained our firm to handle her probation violation down here while she was still in North Carolina.
Strategy of Attack on Florida DUI Case:
We developed a plan to get her into treatment immediately and keep her out of jail. We admitted everything to the probation officer in one shot so that she would only have one violation charge. (Instead of her failing to report or lying about being arrested and then having multiple VOP charges) We brought the case to the court's attention right away and kept them informed of her treatment plan and progress the entire way through.
