If you could not reach a Broward county or Dade county dui attorney while in jail, you should contact a good Broward county or Dade county dui attorney as soon as practicable after getting out. There are some procedures that take place very soon after your release; time may truly be of the essence. Penalties of a DWI or drunk driving conviction in Florida are costly and include jail, a criminal conviction, loss of motor vehicle or driver license, traffic school, counseling, fines, legal costs, increased insurance rates and a tarnished reputation. A Miami Dade county dui criminal defense attorney or lawyer from the law firm of Essen, Essen, Susaneck, & Cohen will try to help.
