DUI
Having spent many years working as a prosecutor for the state, Richard Leal is deeply familiar with how DUI cases are handled in Florida. DUI convictions can have very severe penalties, so it is important for you to obtain qualified legal representation once you are charged.

If you were arrested for a DUI, you must apply to the DMV for a formal hearing within ten days of your arrest in order to contest the suspension of your license. Failure to apply within the ten-day limit waives your right to that hearing, giving up your right to have an experienced DUI attorney try to remove the suspension from your license.

It is important to work with an experienced attorney in these matters so you can resolve your DUI properly and successfully. Before you hire an attorney to represent you in a DUI case based upon a website or brochure, be sure to inquire about the actual experience of the attorney in handling DUI cases.
