In Florida, you have 30 days after receiving your citation to pay your traffic ticket.
You Only Have 10 Days to Act!
In many cases, you must act quickly to prevent suspension of your driver's license. You have 10 days from the date of the Sarasota traffic ticket to request a hearing with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV).

During your DHSMV hearing, I can challenge the license suspension and provide a powerful defense for your case. In some cases, you may be able to retain your license with specific restrictions, such as only being allowed to drive to and from home, work, and essential appointments.
