DMV (DHSMV) Hearings
When a person is arrested on DUI charges, their driver’s license will automatically be confiscated, and their driving privileges suspended. In the state of Florida, drivers who are arrested for DUI have the right to contest the suspension of their driver’s license at a hearing with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. You then have 10 DAYS from the date you were arrested to schedule your hearing. If you do not schedule your hearing within days, you will lose your right to a hearing altogether, and your license will automatically be suspended.
Experienced Representation for Your DMV Hearing
It’s very important that you exercise your right to have an attorney present at your hearing. This is your chance to get your driver’s license back, so hiring an Orlando DUI attorney who has ample experience defending people at DMV hearings will be highly beneficial to your case. If your attorney can establish that your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was below the legal limit, that you were unlawfully arrested, that the police violated your rights, that an error was made during the administration of the breath or blood test, or that your physical and mental abilities were not impaired, then your driver’s license will likely be returned to you. While these defense tactics are effective, they must be executed by a skilled attorney, as it will be very difficult to prove your innocence on your own.
