Contact our office to set up a free initial consultation.
The Administrative License Revocation Proceeding
After you have been charged with DUI/DWI, it is critical that you act fast, if you want to avoid suspension of your driver's license. Your license will be automatically suspended upon arrest, you will be given a temporary license and you have only 10 days to appeal the suspension by the DMV. If you fail to appeal within 10 days, your license will be suspended for a minimum of 90 days. If you refuse to take a blood alcohol test, your license will be suspended for one year.
You can rely on us for aggressive advocacy at the administrative license revocation hearing. We will challenge the evidence, making certain that there was probable cause to pull you over and that the arresting officer properly completed the paperwork associated with your arrest. If a license suspension is unavoidable, we will work to get you limited driving privileges so that you can still travel to work and medical appointments.
The Criminal Prosecution
The criminal penalties for drinking and driving can be severe and can prevent you from holding commercial licenses to operate trucks or cabs. For certain violations (a blood alcohol content of over .15), even a first offense requires jail time. Multiple offenders often face jail time, and a felony DUI/DWI conviction can carry sentences ranging from 1-20 years. A conviction can also carry fines that reach into the thousands of dollars.
Besides incarceration and fines, a DUI/DWI conviction means a criminal record that can follow you for the rest of your life, impacting your employment options as well as your reputation.
