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.

  • "Great lawyer"
    Great lawyer. Never hired a lawyer before so I was nervous. Bryan was cheaper than the other lawyers I called. He answered all my questions. I went to one court date and got only fines and court cost. Hopefully don't need to, but would definitely use again, and recommend. Thanks Bryan

  • "Your very thorough investigative work, preparation, and execution were all very good and saved a young man from a possible disaster to his entire future."
    Travis and I and our entire family would like to thank you for the excellent job you did on the recent Traffic Ticket case against Travis. We found you to be very generous, very professional, and very competent. Your very thorough investigative work, preparation, and execution were all very good and saved a young man from a possible disaster to his entire future. You also saved me from an economic expense that I could ill afford at this time. I heard a rumor that you might be thinking about a possible run for the State Legislature in the future. You would certainly have my vote and my support with everyone I know. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is in need of a good attorney. You have given us a new and much improved opinion of the legal profession. Very best wishes for the future and much appreciation for the job you did.
