Consequences of an Out of State DUI Arrest
When you are arrested for driving under the influence while visiting Panama City on vacation or a business trip, you are at risk of having the consequences of the situation follow you to your home state.
Most states in the country participate in the Driver's License Compact, an information sharing agreement which makes it possible for serious traffic offenders to be penalized at home for infractions committed out of state, so the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles will most likely report the matter of your conviction to the DMV in your home state.
Your attorney will represent you at the DMV hearing in an effort to defend your driver's license against a suspension, using proven DUI defense strategies such as challenging the validity of the chemical test results and raising questions about whether the police officer had probable cause to pull you over.
The firm is available for contact at any time 24/7, so don't hesitate-take action now!
