Ten Day Rule

 

Florida DUI attorneys need to be aware of the "Ten Day" Rule.

The Ten Day Rule varies from state to state. California has a 10-day rule for DUI cases and several other states have a 15-day rule for drunk driving arrests. Some states don’t support this rule at all. Because of individual state difference, it is important to contact a highly experienced Florida DUI attorney.


Florida DUI arrests results in the following type of cases:

  • Court case - punishment includes jail, fines, alcohol education classes, an ignition interlock device being ordered into your car, your car insurance going up, and more.
  • DMV case - states driver's license authority is trying to take away your license because of the Florida DUI arrest.


License suspension time and the ability to obtain a "hardship" or restricted license depends on:

  • First-offense or multiple-offense DUI
  • Which state have you been arrested
  • The chemical test given
  • If it is a Refusal Case?

An experienced Florida DUI lawyer is your best choice to avoid these penalties.
