I Received a Notice That My Driver's License is about to be Suspended.

Probably a week does not go by that I don't receive a phone call from an individual who's somewhat frantic, scared, and confused because they've received a letter from the DHSMV telling them that their license is about to be suspended.

Now these suspensions can range from a wide variety of things from:
  • An unpaid ticket 
  • They've been classified as a Habitual Traffic Offender
  • They're having issues with child support
  • There's some type of financial judgment that's been levied against them and as a result of that judgment, their license is being suspended.
Generally, once an individual receives this letter, the suspension would go into affect in approximately 15-30 days. During this period of time, there's a number of things that can be done to avoid the suspension from going into place. A lot of it would depend on what the issue you have is and what the reason of the suspension is. If it's merely an unpaid ticket, we can help you get in contact with whichever clerk of the court the money is owed to or is suspending your license to get that cleared up. If it's child support issues, we can deal with the Department of Revenue to get you clearance letters to get that suspension off.

If we're successful in getting these suspensions removed prior to the suspension date, then you will not have to worry about paying any type of reinstatement fees. If we can't get the issues cleared up by the time the suspension does go into place, then we'll do everything we can to get you your license back as quickly as possible.

Once we receive your phone call, we can pull your driving record, see what's on there, and see what the suspensions. We've been extremely successful in avoiding whatever suspensions the DHSMV is trying to put in place from going into effect. We'll clear up your child support issues; we'll get those unpaid tickets taken care of. If you're an HTO, we can get that removed and get you your full driver's license back.

If we're not successful in getting you your full driver's license back, there's always the potential that we may be able to get you a hardship license, which would allow you to continue driving for business purposes.
Regardless, you don't want to have a suspended license in Florida; you need to drive in this state. It's a state that is not easily accessible without being able to drive. There's a vast majority of individuals in this state who are currently driving on a suspended license and they don't even know it.

So I encourage you to go to the DHSMV; they have a free driver's license check. You just simply type in your driver's license number; they'll pull up your record, let you know if there are any issues, see if there are any suspensions on it. If for some reason you find yourself in the unfortunate situation where you've either received this letter from the DHSMV telling you you're ABOUT to be suspended or you go to their website, and when you pull your record up, you see that there's a suspension already in place or one that is pending, feel free to give us a call. We'll sit down with you; we'll take a look at your driving record; we'll see what we can do to get that cleared up and get you your full driver's license back or avoid that suspension from going into place. Give us a call.
