Federal DUI Penalties in Florida
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence on federal property, then you have been charged with federal DUI. A federal DUI conviction is considered a class B misdemeanor resulting in up to 6 months in federal prison, up to 5 years federal probation, &/or up to $5k in fines.
You also may not request a jury trial for most of these cases, and the trial will likely be before a federal judge. As you can imagine, facing these charges without proper legal care, counsel, and representation can be disastrous. Not many people have heard of a federal DUI. If you have been charged with a federal DUI due to a blood alcohol content over 0.08, it is essential you enlist in the help of Vanover Law Firm. Our team has 20+ years of experience handling over 3,200 DUI cases.

"The man is truly a blessing. If you find yourself in any kind of similar situation call Mr. Christopher Wayne Garrett!"Let me start by wishing I could put 10 stars! I was in a horrible situation when I contacted Mr. Garrett. I was arrested and charged with a 2nd DUI within a two year span and was ultimately facing jail time. His services are reasonably priced, and he worked on my case diligently. I never had to set foot in a courtroom. my mindset from the beginning was that the best case scenario was that my charges would be dropped to a lesser charge. Which still would have hurt me financially and put my job in jeopardy. After a few continuances so Mr. Garrett had time to review my case, I got an unexpected call. The call was to inform me that my case was DISMISSED!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it. Through his knowledge of the legal system and persistence he was able to get my case thrown out. The man is truly a blessing. If you find yourself in any kind of similar situation call Mr. Christopher Wayne Garrett!- Tyler

"Team Garrett"I was so glad that I found Chris Garrett and was able to have him take my case. He answered all my questions and really listened to me. My case lasted for over 9 months, also had another charge added. I know that he fought for me all the way, he kept me out of jail and from losing everything I had. I highly recommend him and his great staff, no matter what your legal problem is. Also want to add that Angela was fantastic throughout the whole process.- Michael Buckner

"DUI for charging my phone"Great team, Chris and Angela are great, although things didn’t go easy through the COVID period they battled for me, unfortunately my Life took a turn and regretfully I backed out of going to trial and took the plea offered, I know what I did and I would make the same decision again in that situation but unfortunately some of the best decisions are punishable by law, I truly think Mr. Garret would have been a force to be reckoned with at trial, and I would have love to have witnessed it, but life is life. I would whole heartedly recommend him and his team, they where a blessing to me in the understanding all my circumstances.. God Bless- Ken Strickland
