Out of State Drivers and DUI

Are you an out-of-state driver who has been arrested for DUI in Florida?  If so, you will need to consult an Orlando DUI attorney as soon as possible because out-of-state drivers arrested for DUI in Florida face different processes and consequences than in-state drivers.

DUI arrests can be very stressful, but even more so if it happens outside of your home state.  Because out-of-state DUI cases can be complex and difficult, you want to work with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who specializes in out-of-state DUI cases.

At Katz & Phillips, P.A., our experienced team of lawyers know how to work with out-of-state DUI charges and effectively represent clients so you can hopefully avoid any court appearances.

Consequences of an Orlando DUI for Out of State Drivers

As a member of the Interstate Drivers License Compact, Florida reports serious traffic violations to the driver’s home state where points and license suspension penalties can be assessed.  Although the State of Florida does not have authority to confiscate or suspend your out-of-state driver’s license, you may still face serious suspension-related penalties in your home state.

If you are convicted of criminal charges in the State of Florida, you may face imprisonment, heavy fines, and community service even though you reside in another state.
