The Law Offices of Daniel Rosenberg, operating from 802 NE 20th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304, provides specialized DUI defense with particular focus on DMV hearings. Attorney Rosenberg explains that upon DUI arrest with a BAC of .08% or higher, drivers face automatic license suspension independent of criminal court proceedings. Crucially, defendants have only 10 days from arrest to request a DMV hearing to contest this suspension. At these hearings, a DMV representative reviews arrest documentation and questions the defendant, with potential license suspension ranging from six months to one year. Rosenberg leverages his extensive experience to challenge DMV documentation, BAC test validity, and field sobriety test administration. For clients whose licenses are already suspended, the firm assists in obtaining hardship licenses that permit limited driving privileges for work or school, though these are unavailable to those with prior DUI-related suspensions or test refusals. For immediate assistance with DMV hearings in Broward County, call 954-892-1277.
