Orlando DUI
Defense Attorney - Lawyer, providing experienced DUI Defense
and other Criminal Defense legal Services in Orlando, Orange
County, and Central Florida areas.
 When
an individual is arrested for a DUI offense, the last thing they would think
that they may have to deal with is the forfeiture of their vehicle. Impounded...
maybe. but not Vehicle Forfeiture.
If your DUI arrest is not your first, and you have a
prior DUI conviction on your
Florida Statute Section 322.34(9)(a) provides:
Your vehicle is subject to seizure and forfeiture
regarding a DUI if two conditions are met:
-
You are arrested for a DUI after January 1st, 2000;
and
-
If at the time of your arrest, your privilege to
drive is already under suspension, cancellation, or
revocation as a result of a prior DUI conviction.
The DUI Vehicle forfeiture may be considered a civil
forfeiture which only requires a "preponderance of the
evidence" to be proven in order to achieve a vehicle
forfeiture verdict. This means it is possible for an
individual to be found "not guilty" in the DUI case, and
still be subject to vehicle forfeiture in the Civil
Forfeiture case.
Having experienced representation in both legal matters
is extremely important not only for your freedom, but
your driving privileges and avoiding vehicle forfeiture
as well.
Being charged with a DUI Offense does not always mean a
conviction will follow. Your best chance to have a
successful outcome in any DUI related legal situation is
to seek the legal advice and representation of
experienced legal counsel.

DUI defense or other criminal defense issues,
