West Palm Beach DUI Defense Attorney

DMV Hearings

As soon as you are arrested and booked on DUI charges, the police officer will take away your regular driver’s license and issue a temporary permit good for 30 days.  The only way to get your driver’s license back is to attend an administrative hearing with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.  This hearing is your chance to fight your suspension and try to win back your driving privileges. However, you must act quickly. You are only given 10 days from the day you were arrested to schedule your hearing.  It’s very important that you take your situation seriously and schedule this hearing within 10 days. If you do not, your driver’s license will automatically be suspended.  

It should be noted that if you fail to request a hearing and you failed a breathalyzer test, then your license will automatically be suspended for 6 months.  If you fail to request a hearing and you refused a breath or blood test, your license will be suspended for one year.

Why do I need a West Palm Beach DUI Lawyer?

You want to make sure you have an attorney who has experience defending people at their hearings, and who is familiar with effective ways to challenge the evidence submitted by the arresting officer.   If you are successful at your hearing, the DMV will return your driver’s license to you.
