Cypress Gardens, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

Failure to appear in court will result in a warrant for your step sons arrest issued by PA nationwide, and a license suspension in PA. The courts in Florida will recriprocate with the license suspension and will take him into custody on the warrant if he has any contact with law enforcement. The best thing to do is go to PA and turn himself in and deal with the DUI charge, take care of business, then move to Florida. Simply moving to Florida will not solve the problem.

The decision to reduce charges to reckless driving rests with the State Attorney.  If you cooperated and there is a DUI sobriety video that shows you are performing extremely well on the sobriety tests, there is a chance you can get the charge reduced. Your biggest problem is that your BAC is well over the limit of .08.  You could be convicted at trial of DUI with the breath readings, and so the SAO may not have any motivation to reduce the charges, that combined with the fact that the police apparently have it out for you. The SAO will normally consult with the police with considering a reduction of charges.

It depends on the circumstances. If the State subpoenas the hospital for the blood test results then they will get them. If the police already obtained the blood test results then the State certainly would have them. On the other hand, if the State never made any effort to obtain the blood test results then they would only be entitled to them if you intended to use them at trial and engaged in reciprocal discovery.
