If you have recently been arrested for driving under the influence, you may be concerned about your ability to drive. Navigating the aftermath of a DUI arrest can be confusing, but with the help of Russo, Pelletier & Sullivan, the leading DUI defense law firm in Clearwater, you may be able to gain your driving privileges back.
After a DUI arrest, your license may be automatically suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles based on the circumstances of your arrest. This is a preliminary action that happens independently of the criminal court process.
During criminal court proceedings, the court may impose additional driving restrictions or suspensions as part of your criminal case, depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings.
In some cases, you have the right to challenge the administrative license suspension. This typically involves requesting a hearing within a specified timeframe after the arrest. In the case of a first-offender, you may be eligible to apply for a hardship license immediately, to avoid any interruption in your privilege to drive.
Although the Court has the lawful authority to take away your driving privileges, it does not have the authority to give you a driver’s license. Only the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has the authority to issue driver’s licenses. When you consult with the top DUI attorneys in Clearwater with Russo, Pelletier & Sullivan, we will discuss your eligibility for a hardship license and the necessary steps to minimize the interruption in your privilege to drive.
