Jacksonville DHSMV Hearing Lawyer
Don't Miss Your Deadline to Request a Hearing
Separate from the criminal process, those who are arrested for drunk driving in Florida will face two separate hearings: the criminal hearing and the administrative hearing. The administrative hearing is not required, but it is your only chance to fight a license suspension after a DUI. Anyone arrested for DUI has the right to request this hearing with the Florida Department of Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), but you only have ten days before this right expires and your opportunity to restore your license is gone.
Get the representation you need today! Call Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. at (904) 701-0591 to begin discussing the details of your case.
The DHSMV request and hearing is not necessarily a simple process and it is extremely important that no time is wasted in getting the involvement of a high-quality attorney.
According to Florida Statutes §322.2615 (2012), once someone has been arrested for alleged drunk driving, the arresting officer will give them a 10-day temporary permit. Within 5 days of the arrest, the arresting officer will send to the department the following: the driver's license, an affidavit which explicitly explains the grounds of arrest, results of all breath, blood or urine tests, field sobriety test observations and notice of suspension.

We listen to your account of the DUI arrest and review the police records of the arrest and then formulate defenses that we may raise at the DHSMV hearing on your behalf.
Where helpful, we subpoena the arresting police officer so that on cross-examination we can seek to expose lapses in procedure and unlawful police stops We may challenge whether the officer had a proper basis to arrest you or whether the breath test or field sobriety test was properly done. In the case of you having refused the breath test, we may challenge the officer's persistence in communicating the consequences of refusal. We are accomplished in DHSMV hearing defense and can also advise on how to obtain a restricted license to perform essential errands and commute to work.

Jason Porter and Nicole Carlucci are the best attorneys in Jax Beach! Listen, no one wants to hire an attorney, but if you need one- these are the people to call. I was able to schedule a same-day appointment and they were professional, courteous, and provided an excellent outcome to my case. 10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!- K.M.

Many times when you meet attorneys to represent you, there are thoughts that reside in the back of your head...some good and some bad. "Are these guys REALLY going to help me," or "do they REALLY have my best interest," or "can I really trust them?" Those are the many thoughts, plus more, that I had--it did go away after my first initial visit with one of the attorney's at Jason's Porter's law office. For my case, I worked with two different attorneys which included Jason Porter himself. Both of those guys were with me 100% from the beginning, in court, after court, late in the evening by phone calls, text, and emails, it was a great experience. What was consistent and what I valued most is that I got to know both of them, what they like to do in their personal time with family, which felt like I could communicate openly and honestly. My case was a criminal case and because of them, I do not have to be viewed as a criminal. I want to share and express my gratitude for how they have helped me so others can choose Jason Porter.- JW

My fiancé and I were referred here by a friend. Our lawyer was Nicole Carlucci and paralegal was Danielle Castillo, they were beyond wonderful. Easy to communicate with, always gave us our options and never made us feel pressured. Our relationship with them was very personable and we always felt as if we were their only clients! We seeked their help with regards to child support and time sharing. The experience was just wonderful!!!!! We would recommend them 10 times over.- Kizgel D.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. I was blessed to have selected first, from a long list of lawyers, Jason Porter. From our first meeting, Jason was kind, comforting, and non-judgmental. Jason and his team fought long and hard for me, and our outcome was as predicted, far better than I was expecting considering my initial circumstances. A heart felt Thank You to Jason, Jonathan, and Darlene.- S.H.

Mr. Porter is an excellent attorney. He helped me and my teenage son through a very difficult situation. He was right there immediately ensuring we had representation. He even called to follow up to ensure we were ok. He is very passionate about helping his clients. He also does not try to charge you if he knows you don’t have a case. He’s very honest and a great person. Highly recommend him if you need legal advice. Kelley- K.H.
