Florida's "10 Day Rule."
You have only 10 days from the date of arrest to save your driver's license!
Each year that the Florida Legislature convenes, they have toughened the DUI laws. If you are arrested for DUI, and you refused to take a breath, blood or urine test, OR if you took the test and your result is 0.08 or greater, the Department of Motor Vehicles will suspend your driving immediately, and you have only 10 days to request a special hearing called a "Formal Review Hearing." There our firm can fight to regain your license. Failure to do so will result in at least a six month suspension (for blood alcohol test results of .08 or higher on a first DUI) and as much as an eighteen (18) months suspension of your driver's license (for a second refusal to take the test.) If any of the following facts are present in your DUI arrest, the 10 Day Rule applies to you and you must act now.
- You took the test and your blood alcohol level was .08 or higher.
- You refused to take the test.
- You tried to take the test, but they said you refused (maybe you couldn't blow hard enough or urinate on cue.)
- You were under 21 years old on the day you were arrested, and your result was .02 or higher.
- You have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), and you were in your rig when arrested, and either refused the test or tested at .08 or higher.
- You're not sure what your blood level was.
Remember ... getting arrested for DUI does not mean you have to lose your license or pay inflated insurance rates. Call today to find out more about the 10 Day Rule and the Administrative Suspension Process.

JUST BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE GUILTY OF DUI DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE STATE CAN CONVICT YOU. There are many ways to attack a DUI arrest. The officer may not have had a valid reasons for the stop. The officer may not have had sufficient probable cause to arrest you. The way the officer obtained your breath, blood or urine sample may not have been incompliance with the law. The equipment used by the police may not have been properly maintained or calibrated. There may have been medical or other physical reasons for your poor performance on any field tests. The officer may not have administered the tests correctly. There are MANY opportunities to attack the validity of your arrest.
EVEN IF YOUR ARREST MUST RESULT IN A CONVICTION, YOU SHOULD BE POSITIONED TO RECEIVE THE MINIMUM PENALTY PERMITTED BY LAW. There are certain minimum penalties that the Court is required to impose, but the Court has the discretion to impose much more severe penalties. It's our job to seek the absolute minimum sanctions that you must endure.
