Administrative Hearings - License Suspension for DWI

If you have been arrested charged with a DWI, you face two obstacles; the criminal charge from the county attorney, and a potential administrative penalty from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Within 10 days of your arrest, you will receive a notice from the DMV advising you to request an administrative hearing, or your license will be automatically suspended after a certain date (usually 30 days after your arrest). This hearing addresses the question of whether there should be an administrative suspension of your license based on the DWI arrest.

In order for the DMV to suspend your license, it must be established that: (1) the person was driving at the time of the events; (2) that there was probable cause for his arrest; (3) that the driver was placed under arrest; and (4) that the driver either failed the test by exceeding the .08% of alcohol in the blood or refused to take the test. Our attorneys can represent you at the hearing and present evidence on your behalf to help you defeat the suspension.
