In 2012, our client was convicted of a criminal offense of Driving While License Suspended with Knowledge in Orange County. In 2014 and again in 2016 he receive civil traffic tickets for Driving While License Suspended Without Knowledge. Unaware of Florida’s Habitual Traffic Offender law, our client just paid the two tickets from 2014 and 2016. The client contacted our office when he received a letter from DHSMV stating that due to these 3 offenses, they were declaring him a Habitual Traffic Offender by having these 3 offenses in a 5 year period and were suspending his driver’s license for 5 years. We filed two motions for our client requesting the court overturn his convictions for the 2014 and 2016 tickets. The Court granted both of our motions, taking 6 points off of our client’s driving record, reversing the Habitual Traffic Offender designation, and letting our client keep his driver’s license.
