 STOP 
YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE MAY BE IN THE PROCESS OF
BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU RIGHT NOW
When someone is arrested for D.U.I., there are really two separate cases being prosecuted against the accused:
- The DMV case, where the driver’s license can be taken away; and
- The criminal case that can result in jail, fines, an ignition interlock device being installed in the car, alcohol education classes, community service, impounding the defendant’s vehicle, or a combination of these things, depending upon the facts of the case.
If you have been arrested for Drunk Driving, you must request a DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest. If you do not request a D.M.V. hearing within 10 days of your arrest, your license will be automatically suspended or revoked 30 days after your arrest.
Even if 10 days have passed, it may be possible to get a DMV hearing, depending upon the facts of your case. If you are beyond 10 days, contact a lawyer immediately to try to protect your rights.
