After you are arrested for DUI, you only have 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a Formal Review Hearing with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). Failure to schedule this hearing will result in automatic license suspension for either 6, 12, or 18 months, depending on different factors. We will file the necessary paperwork on your behalf and attempt to obtain a temporary driving permit for you, should you qualify.
