The penalties for a Dade County dui conviction are more serious than one might imagine. The penalties for a Dade County dui conviction often include jail or prison, loss of driving privileges, a criminal record, loss of vehicle or its use, special schooling, alcohol or drug counseling, fines, costs, and a substantial increase in insurance rates and a tarnished reputation. In a state like Florida, your prior alcohol related convictions from Florida or elsewhere, remain on your record forever and will always cause you additional punishment.
