Being pulled over and arrested is frightening — and the choices you make in the next few days can affect your license, your record, and your future. You do not have to face this alone.
Pamela Vega Law Firm is a bilingual DUI lawyer serving Naples, Southwest Florida, and Orlando / Orange County. We defend people charged with DUI and other driving offenses across Florida — with skill, honesty, and genuine care. Our goal is to protect your rights and help you make informed decisions at every step.
Arrested and not a U.S. citizen? Your immigration status may be at risk.
For non-citizens, a DUI or driving charge can do far more than threaten your license — the wrong outcome can carry serious immigration consequences. As a former prosecutor who understands how criminal cases and immigration intersect, we defend your criminal case with your immigration future in mind, and we coordinate with immigration counsel so the two sides work together. If a loved one is in jail with an ICE hold, call us right away — time matters.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my license after a DUI in Florida?
You may — but acting quickly matters. In many cases you have only about 10 days after arrest to request a hearing that can help protect your driving privileges. We can handle that step for you.
Can a DUI affect my immigration status?
Yes. For non-citizens, certain outcomes can create serious immigration problems. We defend your criminal case with those consequences in mind, and we coordinate with immigration counsel handling the ICE or removal side so both work together. We also prepare USCIS petitions.
Do you speak Spanish? / ¿Hablan español?
