Most DUI matters in Florida, and other states, are filed as misdemeanors. In Florida, you must ask for permission to take depositions in a misdemeanor case pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.220(h)(1)(D). If you are representing somebody in a misdemeanor case, please see the Motion for Depositions, Orders, Subpoenas and Notices in the Procedural Motions section prior to sending out Notices and Subpoenas and MAKE SURE YOU READ THE APPLICABLE FLORIDA RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
