Did you to know, you only have 10 days from the time you were arrested to request an administrative review hearing to retain your driving privileges?
A formal administrative review hearing is held after 10 days so you may ask to retain your driving privileges and for the state to grant or not grant the ability to maintain your driver’s license with or without restrictions. If you do not go to your formal administrative review hearing your Florida driver’s license will be suspended for six month for failing a breathalyzer test, and a one year suspension for refusing to submit to a test. A hardship license can be obtained should you qualify under specific guidelines which your attorney can help you with.

It doesn’t take Tampa DUI Lawyers to tell you that it’s illegal for a driver to have a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or higher. It is very possible that a person can still receive a DUI if their blood content is lower than .08 percent. This is important to know and why it is necessary to get a free consultation with one of our affordable Tampa DUI attorneys to give you legal options to pursue.
Why Affordable Legal Fees?
Our Tampa DUI Lawyers will use their experience to try and keep you from a conviction. Without a possible DUI defense, you are subject to the loss of your drivers license while incurring expensive fines from the state, being made to attended group counseling programs, including Alcohols Anonymous (AA) meetings and perform community service. Your insurance rates will increase substantially and you can face the worst of them all, possible jail time.
Penalties are even more serious if you were involved in an accident involving property damage, another’s vehicle(s), injuries or worse involving vehicular homicide while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Under age or teenage DUI
Under age or teenage driving under the influence with any consumption of alcohol is illegal with only one acceptation. It is legal for an underage driver to have blood alcohol content up to .02 percent, giving the possibility that an underage driver could consume small amounts of medication containing alcohol without losing their license or being subjected to other criminal penalties.

What is an Administrative Hearing for?

The administrative hearing is where the attorney can try to re-establish your driving privileges with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles whenever possible.
