DMV Hearings and DUI

Orlando DUI Attorney

When a person is arrested for DUI in Florida, two separate processes begin: the criminal court process and the DMV hearing. After a DUI arrest, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV or DMV) will immediately begin the process of suspending or revoking your driver's license, but a driver is given the opportunity to challenge this suspension by way of an administrative hearing, most often referred to as a DMV hearing.

About Orlando DMV Hearings

A DMV hearing is an administrative proceeding. For this reason, it is not required that you hire an attorney. However, this hearing is conducted similarly to a court trial, where you will have the opportunity to present evidence in your favor and challenge evidence that law enforcement has brought against you. Having an Orlando DUI lawyer at your side at this time can make a significant, positive impact in the outcome of your hearing.

Following are the issues that may be addressed in an Orlando, Florida DMV hearing:

  • Were you driving?
  • Did the officer have probable cause to stop you in the first place?
  • Were you legally arrested?
  • Did you take a breath test or blood test? Was this test performed properly?
  • Was your blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit?
  • Did you unlawfully refuse a breath or blood test?
