For some individuals, a driver’s license becomes something that they don’t value until it’s gone. License revocation is one of the most startling things that can happen to a person. Without the convenience of your driver’s license your job, reputation, and personal relationships may be on the line. That’s right; the administrative review hearing is only just the beginning of the legal hoops the criminal justice system makes you jump through. On the other hand, favorable evidence gathered at the administrative review hearing for your DUI may be used in your favor – and that is where we come in. Our lawyers have decades of extensive experience successfully representing individuals charged with DUI at both the formal administrative review hearing and the criminal DUI trial.
License Revocation Timeframe
10 days. That’s all you have after you’ve been arrested for DUI to ask for a formal administrative review hearing with regard to keeping your driver’s license. If you fail to request this hearing, your driver’s license will be suspended automatically. If that isn’t harsh enough, if you fail a breathalyzer test and don’t request a formal administrative review hearing, your driver’s license will be suspended automatically for six months. The same applies if you refuse to submit to a chemical test; however, this will result in a driver’s license suspension of one year. The duration of driver’s license revocation is directly influenced by the severity of the charge.
