Mr. Bolware's drivers license was suspended for five years after he pleaded no contest in county court to driving with a suspended or revoked license. He appealed to circuit court, arguing that his attorney did not advise him of the five-year suspension and that, consequently, his plea cannot be considered voluntary. The circuit court agreed with Mr. Bolware. The state appealed that decision to the First District Court of Appeal, which overturned it and reinstated the county court's decision.
