Orlando DUI Defense Lawyer – Crag Chaderton Law
Arrested for DUI in Orlando? Don’t face the charges alone. At Crag Chaderton Law, we provide aggressive, personalized DUI defense for clients throughout Central Florida. We understand what’s at stake—your license, your freedom, and your future. Let us help you protect them.
Understanding the Florida DUI Defense Process
If you've been charged with DUI in Orlando, here’s what you can expect and how an experienced DUI attorney can guide you through the legal process.
DUI Arrest and Charges in Orlando
Most DUI arrests begin with a traffic stop, followed by field sobriety tests and possibly a breathalyzer. If you're found to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or if you refuse a chemical test, you can be arrested and charged under Florida DUI laws (F.S. 316.193).
License Suspension – You Have 10 Days to Act
After your DUI arrest, the Florida DHSMV will suspend your license—even before you go to court. You have only 10 days to request a formal review hearing to challenge the suspension.
Call Crag Chaderton Law immediately at (321) 443 7481 to protect your driving privileges and explore eligibility for a hardship license.
Arraignment and Pretrial Hearings
Your arraignment is typically your first court appearance. In many cases, we can appear on your behalf and enter a not guilty plea while building your defense.
During the pretrial phase, we examine the details of your arrest, breath test results, police conduct, and all relevant evidence. If we find any constitutional violations or procedural errors, we’ll move to have evidence suppressed or charges dismissed.
Trial or Resolution
Depending on your case, we may:
Negotiate a favorable plea deal (such as reduced charges or pretrial diversion)
Fight the charges at trial to seek a not guilty verdict
Argue for alternatives to jail time like DUI school, probation, or community service
At Crag Chaderton Law, we never pressure clients to plead guilty unless it's truly in your best interest.
Potential DUI Penalties in Orlando
Florida imposes tough DUI penalties that may include:
Fines up to $2,000+
Driver’s license suspension or revocation
Mandatory DUI school
Up to 9 months in jail (for first offense)
Ignition interlock device installation
Repeat offenders or DUIs involving accidents face enhanced penalties. We work to reduce or eliminate these consequences wherever possible.
Post-Conviction Relief
Even after a conviction, you may be eligible for:
Appeals
Probation modifications
Sealing or expunging your record (for certain non-convictions)
Let us assess your options for long-term damage control and record protection.
