DMV Administrative Hearings & License Suspension

Defending Your Driver's License

There are two parts to every DUI case – a criminal case and an administrative case. During the criminal case you could face fines, jail time and a suspension of your license. The administrative phase consists of a DMV hearing in which you could lose your license even before a Court decides your case.

If you prevail at your DMV hearing, you are able to keep your license until the ultimate resolution of the criminal portion of your case. If you lose the DMV hearing, or if you simply don't request it in time, you could have your license suspended for many months before you even get a result in Court.

This suspension is separate from the Court's suspension, and could add many months to your total time without a license.

The Importance of Fast Action

After you are arrested for DUI, you have only 15 days to schedule your DMV hearing. If you do not schedule a hearing, or if you lose the hearing your driver's license may be suspended.
