In an instant, your life just changed. You were out with family and friends celebrating and enjoying yourself and suddenly you are in handcuffs, sitting in the back seat of a police car while your car gets towed. You are now a criminal defendant, and at that instant, it doesn\u2019t matter what you were celebrating or that you were having a great time with family and friends, you have been left in a state of shock as that jail cell door slams behind you.<\/p>\n

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious criminal offense that not only carries a strong social stigma but is also aggressively prosecuted by the State Attorney\u2019s Office. That being said, DUI is the one crime most likely to affect our family, friends, professionals and those who have never even been arrested. Most people arrested for DUI are not criminals but honest, educated and hard-working people.<\/p>\n

Request a license hearing immediately! You only have 10 days from the date of arrest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you are arrested on the suspicion of drunk driving your license will be taken and the arresting officer will issue a temporary, 10-day license. From that point, you\u00a0have\u00a010 days<\/a>\u00a0to request a hearing with the DMV<\/strong>\u00a0to fight the suspension of your license. A recent change in the\u00a0Florida Administrative Suspension<\/a>\u00a0law allows you to waive your formal review hearing and instead request eligibility review in order to obtain a business purposes (restricted) license.<\/p>\n

Florida\u2019s DUI laws are among the toughest in the country. If you are arrested for DUI and provide a breath test result that is over a .08, your license will be suspended for six months by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV or commonly referred to as simply DMV). If you refused to submit to a breath, blood or urine test, your license will be suspended for one year, or for 18 months if you previously refused to submit to a breath, blood or urine test and had your license suspended as a result (if this is your second or subsequent refusal you will also be charged in criminal court, in addition to your DUI, for refusing).<\/p>\n
