Free DUI Lawyer In Florida

Reader’s Question:

I don’t understand this formal review hearing that my daughter has to go through after being charged with DUI in Florida. Could you please explain to me what that is and what it has to do with the DUI charge?

One thing your daughter has to be concerned about is saving her driver’s license after being charged with DUI in Spring Hill, Florida. A formal review hearing would be run by the Department of Motor Vehicles. This would be the only opportunity for her to get her license back after being charged with DUI. If she blew a 0.08 or greater on the breath test machine due to suspicion of a DUI, her driver’s license would be suspended for a period of six months. If she refused to provide blood, breath or urine test when she was asked to, her driver’s license will be suspended for 12 months and if this is her second refusal for the blood alcohol test, her driver’s license would be suspended for 18 months.

Your daughter definitely has the chance to get her driver’s license back as if it was never suspended after a DUI charge and this is through winning the formal review hearing. She only has 10 days from the date of the DUI arrest to request for the formal review hearing.
