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.

What is Considered "Federal Property"?

If you are arrested on federal property, you will be tried in a federal court of law and prosecuted by a United States District Attorney.

    "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.

    "No greater than love than that you lay down you life for another."
    This law firm has been AMAZING! They truly care about their clients. My daughter was/is a client and they have called to check on her well-being, fought to get her penalties reduced, and even helped with assisting with indigent status for her.
    - Angie
    "My heartfelt thank you to all."
    I could not have been associated with a better, proficient, professional organization. I consider myself so fortunate to be represented by the entire staff. I would find it an embarrassment to let you and the prosecutor down. My heartfelt thank you to all.

    "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
