License Suspension
Losing your driving privileges for any period of time can be stressful, especially if you use your vehicle for work, to go to school or other important activities. Our firm can be relied on to aggressively defend your right to drive during your hearing. We know the hardships that you will encounter without a vehicle, and will do everything possible to prevent the loss of your license.
Scheduling a Hearing
If you have been arrested for DUI, your driver's license is in danger of being suspended. After a DUI arrest, you have 10 days to schedule a DMV hearing to determine the status of your driving privileges. During this hearing you can explain the reasons why you should be allowed to keep your ability to drive. If you fail to schedule the hearing, your license will be automatically suspended 30 days after your arrest. A lawyer should be contacted at once if you or a loved one has been arrested for DUI to arrange your DMV hearing. It is also advantageous to have a knowledgeable lawyer by your side during the hearing to help protect your driving privileges. Floyd, Skeren & Kelly, LLP is an experienced
DUI defense firm that has successfully helped many clients facing license suspension. We know how to challenge the
evidence that will be presented at the hearing, and can provide the valuable legal advice that you will need.
With each additional case of driving with a suspended license, the penalties will be increased. Attorneys at our firm are also skilled litigators that will confidently represent you in your DUI criminal case. A DUI guilty verdict can result in serious
consequences, including:
- Imprisonment;
- Monetary fines;
- Restitution to the victim;
- Court-ordered alcohol/drug treatment;
- Community service; and
- The loss of your driver's license
We will look for evidentiary weaknesses that can be used to get your charges reduced or the case dismissed. Our office will execute an aggressive and strong defense to help prevent a conviction. |
