FAQ: Do I have to schedule a hearing with the DHSMV?

Yes. Following a Florida DUI arrest, you have only 10 days to contact the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) and schedule your DMV hearing. This is an administrative hearing which is held in regards to the suspension/revocation of your driver’s license.  A defense lawyer can schedule this hearing for you and can represent you in order to help you reach the best outcome possible.

Polk County Administrative Review Hearing?

You only have 10 days from the date of your Polk County DUI arrest to request a formal administrative review hearing regarding the retention of your driving privileges (keeping your drivers license). Failure to request a hearing will result in an automatic suspension of your drivers license.

Failure to request a formal administrative review hearing will result in an automatic six month suspension of your Florida drivers license for failing a breathalyzer test, and a one year suspension of your Florida drivers license for refusing to submit to a test.

In addition, any evidence obtained at the administrative review hearing may be used against you at your criminal DUI trial. Likewise, favorable evidence can be used in your favor.

For this reason, it is advisable to engage us to represent you in both the formal administrative review hearing and the criminal DUI trial.

If you, or a family member, have been charged with a DUI in Polk County you want our experienced and aggressive defense representation on your side. Your freedom is too important to trust to inexperienced lawyers.
