What Happens After a DUI Arrest?
Once you're arrested for a DUI, the clock starts ticking. Understanding the process is vital to ensure you take the necessary steps within the allotted timeframes. Typically, you will receive a notice of suspension and you may need to attend a DMV hearing aside from your court proceedings. It's important to act swiftly to protect your rights.
Many states have an 'implied consent' law, which could mean immediate license suspension if you refuse a blood alcohol content (BAC) test. But don't worry, our experienced team will help you understand these laws and the implications for your case.
Navigating the DMV Hearing
The DMV hearing is a critical juncture in preserving your driving privilege. You must request a hearing within a specific period after your arrest, usually within 10 to 15 days. Failure to do so typically results in an automatic suspension.
Our team is here to help you understand the hearing's purpose: to evaluate whether your arrest was lawful and if your BAC was over the legal limit. We will connect you with attorneys who can represent you at the hearing and contest the suspension on your behalf.
Understanding Suspension Periods
Different factors affect the length of your license suspension, such as prior offenses and the severity of the current infraction. For first-time offenders, the suspension may be shorter. Yet, if your DUI involved aggravating factors, you could face a longer suspension or even revocation.
We understand the anxiety that comes with not knowing what to expect. That's why we're here: to demystify the legal standards and help you understand what you're facing based on your specific circumstances.
Exploring License Reinstatement Options
Earning back your driver's license is not a one-size-fits-all process. Each state has its own requisites for license reinstatement after a DUI. Common requirements include completing a DUI program, paying fines, and providing proof of auto insurance.
Whether it's assessing your eligibility for a restricted license to get to work or school, or making sense of the reinstatement prerequisites, we're committed to keeping you informed and prepared for the road ahead.
Staying Mobile Without Your License
Life doesn't stop when your license is suspended. You have obligations-work, family, and countless errands. That's why knowing your options for alternative transportation is so important. While it can be challenging, it's not impossible. Our experts can help you come up with a solid plan to stay mobile.
We can discuss solutions like carpooling, using public transportation, or ride-sharing services. Staying proactive is key, and we'll help you manage this temporary shift in your daily routines.

Securing Auto Insurance

With our help, compiling the documentation will be a breeze. We ensure all paperwork is organized and complete, leaving no stone unturned on your way to full reinstatement.
