Cocoa We Fight For Your Freedom

Cocoa DUI Attorney

Facing a DUI charge in Cocoa can feel overwhelming. With Brevard County’s stringent legal system and a zero-tolerance approach to impaired driving, these charges carry heavy consequences. Cocoa’s unique location, near major routes like US-1 and landmarks like Cocoa Village, makes it a focal point for DUI enforcement by local police and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. You’ll need a strong legal strategy to protect your rights if you've been charged. The Law Offices of Bryan J. McCarthy is here to help Cocoa residents fight against DUI charges with expert legal representation.

The Seriousness of DUI Charges in Cocoa

Cocoa law enforcement takes DUI cases very seriously. Officers monitor key areas, including stretches near popular destinations like the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse or around Brevard County’s busy nightlife spots. DUI arrests often occur due to failing field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, or routine checkpoints. Brevard County courts in nearby Viera are known for their tough stance on DUI offenses, with penalties designed to deter repeat offenders and ensure public safety.

The Consequences of a DUI in Cocoa

A DUI conviction in Brevard County comes with significant penalties. First-time offenders may face fines ranging from $500 to $1,000, imprisonment for up to six months, and driver’s license suspension for a minimum of six months. Repeat offenses or aggravating factors, such as having a high blood alcohol content (BAC) or driving with minors, can lead to harsher punishments, including ignition interlock requirements and extended jail time.

The impact of a DUI charge reaches far beyond legal penalties, including:

  • Jeopardizing your career
  • Draining your finances with court and administrative fees
  • Leaving you with a criminal record that affects future opportunities 

For Cocoa residents, these consequences make the need for a trusted DUI attorney even more critical.

  • "When I had my free consultation with him, I was blown away. His professionalism, intelligence, and character is everything you would ever want in a lawyer. "
    I had never previously been in an ounce of trouble; not even a detention in high school. When I learned that I had been charged with a felony punishable by a maximum sentence of five years of imprisonment, my life flashed before my eyes. I as stunned and shell-shocked by the experience. When I was contemplating my options on a public defender or a lawyer, my friend, who had been in trouble recently, recommended “The Savior” (at least that’s what I call him now!) Mr. McCarthy! This man knows what he’s doing! When I had my free consultation with him, I was blown away. His professionalism, intelligence, and character is everything you would ever want in a lawyer. Bryan knows the law inside and out to the point where once you leave the office, you’ll be gaping with eyebrows raised and say to yourself, “Wow … I’m impressed.” Needless to say, I felt ten times more comfortable coming out of that office than I did going in. When consulting with him, he utilized the perfect blend of realism and reassurance to let me know of my potential outcomes while simultaneously restoring my peace of mind. I felt that I could live worry-free after hiring him. Oh, and guess what?! After his dedication to my case, I learned about a month later that the charges were COMPLETELY DROPPED! You read that right! COMPLETELY DROPPED! I was so thankful that I looked up into the sky and shed tears with my mom’s arms wrapped around me, and it was all because of Mr. McCarthy. This man made the continuance of my dream to pursue teaching possible! Whatever you are looking for in a lawyer, I guarantee you!! Mr. McCarthy is the man! He is “The Savior!”

Most importantly, Mr. McCarthy delivered on what he promised me at our initial consultation. For all the above reasons, I am genuinely grateful that I was represented by Mr. McCarthy and the Law Offices Bryan J. McCarthy.
