DMV Hearings in Fort Myers, FL

Defending Your Driving Privileges

If you have been arrested for a DUI in Fort Myers, the first step that you should take is to contact the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to schedule an administrative review hearing. Keep in mind that you only have 10 days to do this, and failing to do so at this given period will result in the automatic suspension of your driver’s license which can last from 180 days to a year. After you have secured your administrative review hearing, the next step is to contact a Fort Myers DUI attorney at Parks & Braxton, PA to discuss your arrest through our free, confidential consultation. We can get started on crafting a solid defense strategy to restore your driving privileges.

What You Can Expect at a DHSMV Administrative Hearing

Your DHSMV administrative review hearing is a separate action for your criminal trial. However, the hearing will be based on the same evidence that will be used against you in court. It will be less formal with only an officer of the Department presiding over the hearing instead of a judge. The police officer who made your arrest is not even required to testify in the case.

As for your side, we will present evidence and witnesses to cross-examine the evidence against you. Your Fort Myers DUI lawyers will seek to convince the Department officer that your guilt cannot be proven by the majority of the evidence at hand. We will aggressively defend your driving privilege no matter what. Our firm has the resources to explore every legal avenue including demonstrating that you were the victim of an illegal DUI traffic stop or challenging the evidence to make your guilt highly improbable. One example of these is through exposing an improperly calibrated breathalyzer test that cannot precisely measure if your blood alcohol concentration was above the legal limit or not.
