Federal DUI Charges Put Experience On Your Side

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.

    "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

    "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.

    "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.

    ""Referred by friend""
    Want to thank Chris Garrett & his staff for their prompt and professional service. With many attorneys to choose from in the area, Chris came highly recommended to handle my case by a friend. I am very pleased with the outcome and will refer him in the future to anyone seeking his professional services. Thanks again Chris!

    "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!

    "I couldn't be happier with my experience."
    Mr. Garrett represented me in a DUI case and did an amazing doing so. His staff was more than helpful throughout the process and I couldn't be happier with my experience. In the end I was found not guilty do to the knowledge, experience and hard work put forth by my Mr. Garrett. Thanks again!!

    "Very personal and professional and made sure I was taken care of and that justice was served in my case."
    Angela and attorney Chris Garret were very personal and professional and made sure I was taken care of and that justice was served in my case. They represented me in Okaloosa and Escambia and had no problem dropping everything to be there whenever I needed them in my case! Thanks again!!!
    - Philip
    "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.
