We might be able to keep to you driving even if you refused to provide a breath sample or if you blew over a .08, but you must act quickly.

In Florida, along with most states, if you refused to give a breath sample or you blew over a .08 your license is suspended immediately. That is why they might have kept your drivers license when they released you. If this occurred the law permits you to challenge this "administrative suspension".

In order to challenge this administrative suspension you must petition for a hearing before an administrative hearing officer. If we prevail then your license to drive will be reinstated. These hearings are conducted by an employee of the Florida department of motor vehicles, the same people that issued and now suspended your license. Needles to say the cards are stacked against the person requesting the hearing. So why bother with the hearing if the odds are bad.

There are several reasons that it is important to challenge the suspension.

• It is included in our fee.
• It is possible to get a temporary license to be able to continue to drive until the hearing takes place.
• I gives us an early opportunity to get the discovery and look for weaknesses in the case.
• If you win you get to continue driving with no restrictions.
• if you do nothing but you beat your criminal DUI charge, the administrative suspension will remain in place.
• There are other tactical reasons to have the hearing.

10 days from your arrest date is the only time frame within which to petition for the hearing.
