DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of David W. Olson
When you are eligible for reinstatement, whether on a restricted or full basis, you will be subjected to the ignition interlock requirement for a minimum of one year.   It is probable that at the time you were sentenced the judge pronounced that the term would be one year, although he or she could have enlarged that term. Also, the device must be installed at your expense.

How can I be charged for driving with a suspended license if I wasn’t even driving?

Answered by attorney Robert E McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
Sometimes the Police will make up a charge to get the person off the street. Issue is whether the States Attorney will prosecute. If he was not driving he needs to fight. He will need an attorney.

Is a first time dui offense give you a criminal record?

Michael H. Fayard
Answered by attorney Michael H. Fayard (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Michael Fayard, Attorney at Law
Unfortunately, it really depends on what county you are in when you get a DUI.  In some counties they offer pre-trial diversion (“PTI”).  After a successful completion of PTI, the charge is dismissed by the state and you can potentially have your record sealed/expunged. Certain counties do not offer the PTI for first time DUI offense (such 12th judicial circuit in and for Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto).  In places like the 12th Circuit, a first time DUI conviction is considered a criminal traffic case and carries a Misdemeanor conviction.  A standard 1st time DUI is a Second Degree Misdemeanor. A DUI with property damage/personal injury is considered an enhanced DUI. They both, however, are considered criminal traffic and just because you have the enhancement it does not mean that one is criminal and one isn't (all things being equal and you not being entitled to PTI).  Additionally, if the damage or the personal injury is severe, the DUI can be filed as a Felony (the level is based on the severity of the injury).  In any event, if you plea No Contest or Guilty to a DUI then you will most likely have a criminal record.
