Florida is one of several states that offers the possibility for those with a suspended license to obtain a hardship license.

What is a Florida Hardship License?

Granted to those with suspended licenses, a hardship license provides limited driving privileges based on necessity (such as the ability to drive to work or school).

Florida Hardship License Requirements

 Register for a 12-hour mandatory course called the Florida Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI) Course. Pass this course and receive a certificate.
Fill out an application to request a ‘hardship hearing’
Bring the application for a hardship hearing and the certificate to a local Administrative Reviews Office
Pay associated fees ($45 for suspensions, $75 for revocations, $63 for ADI course, hearing filing fee of $12, and administrative fees often totaling around $130).
If eligible and approved by a hearing officer, receive your hardship license.

If approved, this license will be granted with several restrictions and limitations.

Brevard County, Florida Lawyer

Many of the clients that we represent for criminal charges in Brevard County have no prior criminal record. Certain professions require special state or federal certification such as doctors, lawyers, nurses, private and public school teachers, state and federal law enforcement officers and members of the military. Individuals in these professions face special challenges after an arrest and prosecution.

Even if the charges are ultimately dropped, those indirect consequences can have a huge impact on the individual's career and future employment opportunities. Similar problems impact individuals working as defense contractors or who are required to carry a firearm or use a concealed weapons permit for their employment.

Even high school and college students can face serious immediate consequences to their education after an arrest or criminal accusation. Our criminal defense attorneys work with these individuals to minimize both the direct and indirect consequences of an arrest and prosecution. We work with clients throughout Palm Bay, Rockledge, Titusville, Cocoa, West Melbourne, Indian Harbour Beach, and nearby areas.

The Florida criminal defense team at Germain Legal will zealously fight for their clients. We take an aggressive approach coupled with a meticulous attention to detail. We believe that by filing and litigating all viable motions we can often negotiate a better resolutions to the case or force the prosecutor to drop the charges. Florida law provides for important protections by filing motions to exclude evidence, motions to suppress statements, and motions to dismiss criminal charges.
