Do you have a suspended license? Our attorneys at Titan Law understand that this can be a life-altering experience. It affects your ability to work, run errands and take care of your family.

Rather than grappling with the stress and inconvenience of having a license suspended, turn to us for help. Our team navigates the complexities of license suspension and reinstatement. In some instances, we may be able to reinstate your license or get you a hardship license.

Common Reasons For A Suspended License In Sarasota County

The state of Florida does not take traffic offenses lightly. The traffic court may suspend your license for reasons such as:

  • DUI convictions: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Accumulation of points: Repeated traffic violations leading to point accumulation
  • Unpaid traffic tickets: Failing to pay fines for traffic violations
  • Failure to appear in court: Missing a scheduled court date
  • Driving without insurance: Not having valid auto insurance
  • Child support delinquency: Falling behind on child support payments
  • Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions that affect driving ability

In Florida, the 10-day rule requires that you request a formal review hearing within 10 days of your license suspension notice. Failure to do so can result in an automatic suspension. If your license has been suspended, you may qualify for a hardship license. These temporary driver’s licenses let you drive, but only for essential purposes. Examples include working, transporting children to school and attending medical appointments. The application process for reinstatement involves submitting a request to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) and possibly attending a hearing. You have the right to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent you.

The Importance Of A Suspended License Attorney In Sarasota

Sarasota is a thriving city in Southwest Florida with a well-structured legal system designed to serve its residents efficiently. The Sarasota County Courthouse, located downtown, is a key building where the court hears many license suspension and reinstatement cases. Our law office is just off Route 72/Stickney Point Road. This makes it within convenient reach of this courthouse as well as highways, including Interstate 75 and Route 41. Public transportation is ample, with several bus stops near our building if you cannot drive due to a suspended license.
