What about suspension of your driver’s license for being arrested for DUI? Please be aware that in Florida, YOU HAVE ONLY TEN (10) DAYS to try to fight against the suspension of your driver’s license or driving privilege that occurs when you are arrested for the offense of DUI. You or your attorney must notify the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHMSV) within 10 days of your being charged with DUI that you contest the DUI driver’s license suspension and file appropriate paperwork with the Florida DHSMV. So, call 954-448-5300 today for a FREE, no obligation consultation with DUI attorney Patricia Jones, not a receptionist, legal assistant, or paralegal, about your DUI charge and driver’s license suspension. The firm may also be able to obtain an immediate temporary driving permit for you as well if hired within 10 days of your being charged with DUI.
DUI defense lawyer Patricia J. Jones can fight against the suspension of your driver’s license that occurs when you are arrested for the crime of DUI. Attorney Patricia Jones has handled many, many driver’s license suspension hearings for DUI, but she can challenge the suspension of your driver’s license only if the law firm is hired within ten days from the date of your arrest for DUI and is given enough time to file the appropriate paperwork with the DHSMV on your behalf.
So, in terms of your driver’s license, you are racing against time--this 10 day time period-- once you have been arrested for the offense of DUI. You need to act quickly. If you do not act within this 10 day time frame, then the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) can and will suspend your driver’s license or driving privilege for DUI for a minimum of 6 months and as long as 1 year for a first offense DUI charge.
There are many ways to defend against a DUI charge such as:
•Illegal stop•Challenging breath /blood/ urine test
•Challenging the DUI investigation•Challenging roadside sobriety exercises
•Challenging a “refusal” to take breath test•Conflict between the video and breath test
•Language barrier•Health /medical problems
Fighting back against a DUI charge is the only way for you to be able to challenge the lawfulness of the police officer stopping you, the place of where the roadsides were performed, how the roadside exercises were given to you, or the unlawful obtaining of a breath/blood/urine sample from you, or your being able to show the existence of a language barrier such as when English is not your first language or you are not fluent in it, the existence and effect of health issues like knee surgery or diabetes, or the history of an unfriendly relationship between you and the law enforcement officer.
