Sarasota Suspended License Attorney
DUI Lawyer: Suspended Driver's License
A driver arrested for a DUI faces the loss of driving privileges and other penalties. Field sobriety checkpoints catch many drunk drivers, while others who drive erratically or operate their vehicles in an unsafe manner are subject to criminal DUI charges. An officer will confiscate a driver's license and hand the driver a citation, temporary license suspension, and a notice to contest the citation within 10 days with the DMV. The laws vary from state to state concerning driving on a suspended license.
In Florida, the laws are specific and depend on whether a driver had prior knowledge of a license suspension. A driver facing charges of driving on a suspended license should seek legal advice and contact a Sarasota criminal attorney for guidance on the proper steps to take considering the seriousness of the offense.
