Florida DHSMV Administrative License Suspension & DUI

After a Florida DUI arrest, a driver has 10 days to contact the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to schedule an administrative license suspension hearing (also referred to as a DMV hearing). The failure to schedule this hearing will result in the automatic suspension of your driving privileges, regardless of whether you are found guilty of drunk driving.

The DUI lawyers at Musca Law are experienced in providing aggressive legal counsel at DMV hearings as well as through the entire criminal court process. We can schedule this hearing for you and represent you at the hearing in order to give you the opportunity to reach a better outcome – and keep your driver’s license.
