Department of Licensing Hearings

It is important to speak with an attorney immediately following a DUI arrest – even if you have not yet been charged. Important events are already in motion; for instance, if you want a hearing to challenge your license suspension, you must apply to the Department of Licensing within 20 days of your arrest date, whether or not you’ve even received a court date. Unless you request a hearing, your license will automatically be suspended 60 days after the date you were arrested. The stakes are high, even for a first time offense – 90 days for a breath test over .08, and a full year simply because the arresting officer decided that you refused to take the test.
