A Florida DUI arrest can create two separate problems: the criminal court case and an administrative suspension of the driver's license. The license side may require action within only 10 days—well before a first court date.

Our new guide explains:

- why the criminal case and license case are different;
- the difference between formal and informal review;
- when a restricted-license option may be available; and
- what Sarasota and Manatee drivers should verify immediately after an arrest.

Our new article explains the two tracks, formal and informal review, restricted-license considerations, and immediate steps for Sarasota and Manatee drivers:

Can a DUI, battery, or drug-possession record be sealed or expunged in Florida? The answer depends much more on how the case ended than on the original arrest label. We just published a practical guide covering dismissals, withheld adjudication, convictions, the FDLE certificate process, and statewide representation.

General information only; every record is different.

Florida changed part of its drug-paraphernalia law on July 1, 2026. Qualifying fentanyl and xylazine testing products are now excluded from the statutory definition of drug paraphernalia—but the change is narrow. It does not legalize controlled substances or eliminate other potential charges.
