Answered . To make a 3rd a felony the 1st 2 have to be DUI convictions. DMV, however, can (and will) slam him independent of the court proceedings. For this, and other reasons (namely that he faces anywhere from 6 - 12 months in jail - I can't be sure from your question as a 1st DUI only has a 6 month exposure, your question suggests that this is a 1st yet he is being offered 12 months which suggests that there's more to it - perhaps a DWLS Knowingly, a 2nd subsequent refusal or some other aggravating factor) he needs an experienced Sarasota area criminal defense lawyer working for him yesterday.
While Avvo (and similar sites) are wonderful sources of generic information it is critical to bear in mind that each case, and each Defendant, is /are different, and as every case is also a fluid experience, there is only so much that any lawyer can tell you about your case on-line; in short there is no substitute for an in person face-to-face consultation. Although I practice primarily in Miami-Dade County please feel free to contact my office for a referral or two, or you can either do a location search on Avvo or search the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers website by locality (please see: http://www.facdl.org ).
Either way best of luck!
