Defense For DUI And Traffic Violations
Because drinking and driving is so dangerous, the penalties for doing so are extremely harsh in Florida. These penalties include driver’s license suspension, fines into the thousands of dollars and months of jail time for first-time misdemeanor offenders. Repeat offenders face even harsher penalties. At The Law Offices of Justin Rickman, we provide an experienced attorney to defend your interests and limit the consequences so you can move on with your life.
Driving under the influence (DUI) is defined as operating a motor vehicle to the extent that your normal faculties are impaired and/or with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 percent or higher, under the influence of a chemical substance, or a controlled substance. Those under 21 years old will be charged with a DUI if their BAC is .02 percent or over, and commercial drivers will be charged if their BAC is .04 percent or over.
Restoring Driving Privileges And The Formal Review Hearing
Justin Rickman has, based on the totality of the circumstances, received dismissals on DUI charges against his clients. He also has high success rates with formal review hearings. Formal review hearings before the hearing officer with the DMV are required to get a license reinstated. Even if the DUI charges are dismissed or you are found not guilty, this does not automatically mean that you get your driver’s license back. We will represent you at the formal review hearing and argue to have your license reinstated. If you do not attend the hearing, your license may be suspended or revoked. Contact us as soon as possible, because you only have 10 days from your arrest to request this hearing.
