Re: dui

Generally, if you DUI is a misdemeanor, the State has 2 years to file the charge. Usually, the State Attorney's Office (I previously worked in that same office for 6 years as one of their top DUI Manslaughter prosecutors) will wait until they get the results back from the Medical Examiner's Office to determine the blood alcohol level and/or whether there were any controlled substances in the blood. Please visit my website at www.slavinlawfirm.com which has tons of information on DUI. If you need to talk about this case, or any other criminal or traffic matter, my office is in Clearwater (right across the street from the Criminal Justice Center) and I would be happy to provide you with a free consultation. All of my contact info is on my website or you can email me at: [email protected]

Hope that helps.

Good Luck.
