DUI (F.S. § 316.193)
DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING
Escambia County, FL
19 de septiembre de 2025
Client was originally charged with DUI (F.S. § 316.193), a charge that on a first conviction carries a maximum of up to 6 months in jail and up to a $1,000 fine—plus the serious, long-term consequences that come with a DUI conviction.
We took a firm, litigation-ready posture and pressed the weaknesses in the State’s proof and procedure. The result was a reduction to Reckless Driving (F.S. § 316.192), which for a first conviction carries a maximum of up to 90 days in jail and up to a $500 fine. This outcome avoided a DUI conviction and substantially reduced the client’s exposure from the maximum penalties initially on the table. Past results do not guarantee future
