DUI (F.S. 316.193(1))
DUI REDUCED TO "DRY RECKLESS"
Escambia County, FL
July 30, 2025
Client was charged with DUI (F.S. 316.193(1)) in Escambia County, Florida—a charge that carries not only possible jail exposure, but also serious collateral consequences, including license sanctions, increased insurance costs, and the lasting stigma of a DUI conviction.
We attacked the State’s proof and procedure from a litigation-ready posture and negotiated hard rather than taking the easy way out. The result was an amendment to RECKLESS DRIVING (“DRY RECKLESS”) (F.S. 316.192) with a controlled sentence structure, avoiding a DUI conviction and significantly improving the client’s position going forward. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes; each case depends on its facts and circumstances.
