Good news for those who have had their drivers licenses permanently revoked. The Legislature has passed a new law which allows folks to obtain a hardship license under certain circumstances. If you are one of these folks, call our attorneys to see if you qualify for relief from the permanent revocation.
When DUI clients refuse the breath test, prosecutors like to argue to the jury that the refusal is “consciousness of guilt”. The argument can be persuasive. In a recent ruling, a County Court Judge granted our motion to suppress the client’s refusal due to law enforcement violating our client’s Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during the breath testing procedure at the jail. Even when a criminal case looks bad at the outset, Harris Guidi may be able to find the “diamonds in the rough” that will help the client obtain a favorable resolution to the case. Call us for a review of your case.
Drivers who have a lengthy record of citations or criminal traffic convictions may be deemed a Habitual Traffic Offender (“HTO”) by the DMV. As a result, the DMV revokes the person’s driving privileges for 5 years without any possibility of a hardship license for the first year. If caught driving while designated as an HTO, the person can be prosecuted for a felony. Many think there are no options other than to continue to drive. The Jacksonville Lawyers at Harris Guidi, are able to file certain legal actions to set aside and vacate certain portions of one’s driving record that results in the HTO designation being removed. There is hope.
