DUI leads in Florida present a significant growth opportunity for criminal defense attorneys, especially in high-volume counties like Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, and Palm Beach. These areas see frequent DUI enforcement, meaning more potential clients urgently need legal help.

What sets high-performing attorneys apart is how fast they respond to new cases. If you’re not tracking real-time DUI data, your competition probably is. 

This article will explain which counties are best for DUI lead generation, how to target higher-value clients, and why timing is everything.

Where the DUI Arrests Are: Top Florida Counties Driving Volume

Counties like Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, Orange, Broward, and Palm Beach consistently rank among the highest for DUI arrests in Florida. This is no accident — these urban centers combine population density with law enforcement resources focused on DUI patrols.

If you’re focused on DUI defense, these counties offer:

  • High arrest volume = more consistent lead flow

  • Diverse demographics = opportunities across income brackets

  • Urban ZIP codes = higher chance of private representation

LegalGrab’s tools are built specifically to help attorneys capitalize on this activity before competitors do.

Florida DUI Arrest Statistics: What the Data Tells Us

According to Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there are over 32,000 DUI arrests annually across Florida. Here’s how some counties stack up:

  • Miami-Dade County: ~4,000+ DUI arrests/year

  • Hillsborough County: ~3,500+ DUI arrests/year

  • Orange County (Orlando): ~3,000 DUI arrests/year

  • Palm Beach County: ~2,800 DUI arrests/year

  • Broward County: ~2,500 DUI arrests/year

These five counties alone represent more than 40% of the state’s total DUI arrest volume.
