BUI

If you are charged with Driving or Boating While Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs, many people are scared, embarrassed, and unsure what to do. For example, one major area of distress to an accused is the concern that their employer will find out. Regardless the reason, all of those accused of this offense have a right to be concerned about the long-term legal consequences of a BUI/BWI or DUI/DWI.

There are many ways to fight a drunk driving charge, even if you are being charged as a repeat offender. BUI defense lawyer Craig A. Epifanio, of St. Petersburg, Florida, has considerable experience defending clients against BUI charges and other alcohol/drug related vehicle or vessel related offenses.

The consequences of a first-time DUI/DWI conviction are extremely serious, including potential jail time, loss of driver's license, higher insurance rates, fines, forfeiture of your vessel and a criminal record. Repeat offenders  face even more serious consequences, including potential felony charges.
