Depends on whether it was a violation of a court or administrative order or if it was simply an agreement between your attorney and the prosecutor. I would contact your attorney to discuss your options.

I would keep trying to contact the attorney and/or his/her office. April 9th is still a ways away, so you have some time. If you still don’t hear back, try stopping by the attorneys office to make sure everything is ok. But the bottom line is, if you are worried about court, it’s always safest... View More

Traditionally, drug or alcohol testing is only a condition of your sentence or possibly your bond. The testing is performed at the probation office in Rockledge.

For example, if this is a first offense, you must sign up for DUI level 1 school and apply for an administrative review hearing, within 10 days, to obtain a business purpose only license. In the alternative, you may contest... View More

At the jail the breath test registered a .00 on both tests. An urine sample was taken but I don't have the results. At the time of the arrest it was just for DUI.

The answer to your question, for the DUI, depends on the urinalysis. If you do not have controlled substances in your system, then the State of Florida has no chance of proving Driving Under the Influence. If you test positive for controlled substances, the prosecutors will still have a difficult... View More
That be used in court can the police tell who told them

Yes. The police can reveal who told them. No matter what if it was a valid stop for DUI then they had the right to arrest him and to tow his car

If a breath test is .15 or greater , the penalties for a dui charge increase. Otherwise, your prior dui record is the only factor which will increase your sentence.
From the judge

The judge’s time for a response depends on the complexity of the issues. If you have hired a lawyer, you should ask him or her for the appropriate timeline.
But the judge checked the denied box. Was this just an error?

Assuming no holds on your license, you are eligible for a business purpose only license as soon as you complete DUI level 1. If it is a second conviction within 5 years, you must take DUI level 2 and wait 1 year before seeking a BPO license.
So, essentially, I will lose driving benefits for an entire year?

It has been over 3 years since I was convicted of my 1st and only dui and I am ready to get my license back... Do I still have to get the special FR44 insurance for 3 years?

You may want check with the bureau of administrative review or your insurance company.

A dui may be proven by an unlawful blood alcohol level or by impairment of your normal faculties. Since the breath test malfunctioned, assuming no result, you can argue the state deprived the jury of exculpatory evidence. If there is a breath result greater than the legal limit, you may need to... View More

Florida law requires that you are adjudicated guilty upon the entry of a DUI plea or conviction at trial. Since you can only seal the withholding of guilt, you can not remove a DUI conviction from your Florida driving record.
