Charlotte County sits on Florida's Gulf Coast between Sarasota and Fort Myers. With 195,000 residents and a seasonal population that swells significantly during winter months, the area sees steady DUI enforcement across its major corridors. The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), Punta Gorda Police Department, and Florida Highway Patrol Troop C all actively patrol US-41, I-75, and the bridge connections to the barrier islands.
We've helped thousands of Charlotte County residents get back on the road after a DUI. Our agents know the local court system, the Charlotte County Clerk of Court at 350 E. Marion Avenue in Punta Gorda, and the Tax Collector offices where you'll reinstate your license. We make the FR44 process simple, affordable, and fast.
