A DUI arrest in Florida can affect more than your criminal case.

Harrison, Attorney at Law represents clients in Riverview, Brandon, Tampa, and surrounding communities dealing with the driver's license consequences of a DUI arrest.

Florida DUI License Suspension

Florida has separate administrative and criminal consequences for DUI arrests. A driver's license may be administratively suspended following an unlawful blood or breath alcohol level or a refusal to submit to certain chemical tests. Under Florida law, a driver generally has 10 days after the notice of suspension to request a formal or informal review.



Because this process moves quickly, it is important to understand your rights and available options as soon as possible after a DUI arrest.

Challenging a DUI License Suspension

If your license has been suspended following a DUI arrest, you may have an opportunity to challenge the administrative suspension through a review with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Donald A. Harrison can review the circumstances surrounding your arrest, explain the administrative suspension process, and discuss the legal options available for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do I have to challenge a DUI license suspension in Florida?

    Florida law generally allows 10 days after the date of the notice of suspension to request a formal or informal review. Because this deadline is short, someone facing a DUI license suspension should address the issue promptly.


  • Can my license be suspended even if I have not been convicted of DUI?

    Yes. Florida's administrative license suspension process is separate from the criminal DUI case. A suspension can result from an unlawful blood or breath alcohol level or a refusal to submit to a qualifying chemical test.


  • Can I challenge a DUI license suspension?

    Depending on the circumstances, a driver may request a formal or informal review of an administrative suspension. The review process allows the Department to consider whether the statutory requirements for the suspension were met.


  • Can I still drive after a DUI arrest?

    Driving privileges depend on the circumstances of the suspension and the driver's eligibility. Florida law provides a temporary permit in certain circumstances and also provides procedures concerning restricted driving privileges. An attorney can review your specific situation and explain the options that may be available.


  • Does a DUI license suspension affect my criminal DUI case?

    The administrative license suspension and the criminal DUI case are separate proceedings. Issues involving your driving privilege can therefore arise independently from the criminal prosecution.


  • What should I do if I just received a DUI suspension notice?

    Because Florida law provides a short deadline to request an administrative review, contact an attorney as soon as possible. Donald A. Harrison can review your suspension notice and explain the next steps for your particular case.
