Palm Bay DUI Attorney

Skilled Legal Advocates Serving Brevard County

If you’ve been charged with a DUI in Palm Bay, near landmarks like Turkey Creek Sanctuary, or along bustling routes like Malabar Road, you’re likely facing a stressful and uncertain situation. DUI charges in Brevard County, where cases are often processed through the Viera courthouse, come with serious legal and financial consequences due to the county’s strict enforcement policies. 

Understanding the implications of a DUI charge and securing the right legal representation can make all the difference in safeguarding your future. At The Law Offices of Bryan J. McCarthy, we are dedicated to defending your rights and offering expert legal solutions tailored to the unique needs of Palm Bay residents.

Understanding DUI Charges in Palm Bay

Driving under the influence (DUI) in Florida is a criminal offense that occurs when an individual operates a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Legally, a driver is considered impaired if their blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or higher. DUI charges can also apply if a person's normal faculties are impaired, even if their BAC falls below the legal limit.

Common DUI scenarios in Palm Bay include:

  • Failing field sobriety tests
  • Refusing to take a breathalyzer
  • Being arrested at routine DUI checkpoints

Local law enforcement in Palm Bay prioritizes public safety, meaning officers may aggressively pursue suspected DUI cases. 

DUI Penalties

DUI penalties are equally severe. A first-time offense in Brevard County could result in fines ranging from $500 to $1,000, license suspension for up to one year, and even jail time. Repeated offenses or cases involving accidents, injuries, or minors in the vehicle can lead to harsher penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and significant fines.

Defense Strategies for DUI Charges in Palm Bay

Defense strategies for DUI charges vary based on the specifics of each case. 

Common approaches include:

  • Questioning the legitimacy of field sobriety tests
  • Disputing the reliability of alcohol testing devices
  • Uncovering procedural errors made by arresting officers

Our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for our Palm Bay clients, whether that means reduced charges, reduced sentencing, or a case dismissal.

  • "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.

  • "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
