Groveland, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

The points from the DUI will be on your driving record. Anytime you attempt to get insurance in your own name or if your parents list you as a driver on their policy, your insurance premiums will be much higher due to the points on your driving record. It will stay that way until they go off.

This is a very jurisdiction-specific and fact-specific question. Why was he on pretrial release at the time of his DUI? Where did this happen? Each county has its own procedures and criteria for pretrial release. If the original charge was alcohol-related (like another DUI), then it is not unlikely that they will hold him in jail until both charges are disposeed. Judges are just lawyers who didn't like practicing law. They do not want to be forced out of office by releasing some alleged drunk driver who can't stay sober and off the roads. On the other hand, if your bf was on pretrial release (ROR) for some relatively innocuous charge (say, shoplifting) there is a better chance that the court will grant him a bond. Especially since he has served a month already. Good luck. 

No... because the DUI statute reads "..... .08, or whose driving is affected to an appreciable degree from the consumption of alcohol and or drugs". Translated, even if your breath or blood test is under a .08, you can still be charged. You also don't state how long after driving, the blood test was taken.
