Facing DUI charges in Florida is a serious matter, which requires a serious DUI Defense Attorney. Retaining the services of an experienced Lakeland DUI Defense Attorney - Lawyer at The Law Office of Gail Cheatwood to represent your legal interests can make significant difference in the outcome of your legal situation

While it is not illegal to drink alcohol and drive, it is illegal to drive “under the influence” or "while intoxicated" when your ability to operate a car has been affected by alcohol or drugs, such as when you can no longer judge distances or react to emergencies while driving.

With regards to drinking and driving, the legal limit is currently set at a 0.08% alcohol to blood ratio.

DUI is a criminal traffic offense, the penalties for which are more and more severe each time there is a conviction.  For example, a first-time DUI conviction doesn’t require jail time as part of the sentence.  But a second-time DUI conviction within five (5) years of the first requires a minimum of ten (10) days jail.  You should also know that DUI can be charged as a felony under certain circumstances.  And, if arrested for DUI, your Florida Drivers' License can be suspended by the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles.

A dropped or dismissed Driving Under the Influence, (DUI), charge can sometimes hinge on one important detail. A qualified Lakeland DUI Defense Attorney - Lawyer at Gail Cheatwood will perform thorough investigations to find answers to these and other important questions:

  • Were the blood or breath test results accurate?

  • Were the breath test results compromised in any way?

  • Were field sobriety tests performed according to protocol?

  • Did the arresting officer have probable cause to pull over the vehicle?

  • Did the arresting officer report all details accurately?

  • Was the defendant exhibiting impaired driving?

  • Were the defendant’s constitutional rights violated?
