When arrested and charged with a DUI, that alone can have serious consequences if convicted. But even before you face the DUI Criminal Charges, you must first face a DMV Administrative Hearing regarding your drivers' licence.
If you are arrested for a DUI, it comes with an automatic suspension of your driver's license. The period of suspension will depend on if it is your first DUI Offense or subsequent DUI Arrest within a given period of time.
Fortunately, in the State of Florida, you are afforded the opportunity for a DMV Administrative review hearing where you can make the case for the necessity to be allowed to continue driving under specific circumstances such as under hardship conditions, to and from work, or to necessary medical appointments. You may also seek to have the automatic suspension lifted pending the outcome of your DUI defense case.
You only have 10 days after a DUI arrest to apply for a DMV Administrative hearing. Failure to apply for the DMV Administrative hearing within 10 days will result in the License Suspension to be upheld, without recourse unless the DUI Charges are Dismissed or you win your DUI Defense case at trial.
Your best opportunity for a successful DMV Administrative Hearing is with the assistance of experienced legal counsel representing and protecting your rights.
