HTO Reversed

HTO Reversed in Pasco County
September 7, 2018 – In Pasco County, our client suffered from an HTO 5 year hardship revocation. His most recent DWLS that triggered the suspension also included a mandatory 1 year suspension based on a Fleeing to Elude charge. Based on his driving history, we knew that attacking a prior DWLS without knowledge citation would be difficult. Despite this, in 2016-TR-919XXX, we filed a Motion to Vacate alleging that he was unaware by paying the citation it would count as one of three DWLS charges toward HTO. He thought he did the right thing by paying the ticket, and instead was habitualized one year later when he received a third DWLS. The courts denied our first motion. We filed a new motion for rehearing. This was also denied. We filed a third motion requesting that the court reconsider as the first two motions were denied without providing notice to our firm or a specific reason for the denial. The courts provided us with a hearing date. On September 7, 2018, after a full hearing, Judge Poblick agreed to vacate the prior DWLS and give our client a withhold, allowing the HTO to be reversed, and our client to have his license fully reinstated.
