If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, two separate cases are immediately activated against your name. First a court case is opened by the state prosecutor and will deal directly with the criminal offence of driving under the influence (DUI). Secondly the local DMV’s Office of Administrative Hearings opens a DMV case. The DMV case will deal directly with your right to have a driver’s license. As your license was issued to you by the local DMV, they hold the right to withdraw your license in light of you being arrested for DUI.
There is however several things that need to happen in order to let these two cases go by as smooth as possible with as little interruption to you as possible. First it is of utmost importance that you request a DMV hearing once you have been arrested for a DUI offence. Time of course is of the essence. You might not be able to attend such hearings and that why an experienced DUI attorney can help you through this process by attending hearings on your behalf. Call 304-581-6974 to talk directly to an experienced DUI attorney.
Second, you need an experienced DUI attorney to fight for your rights in the criminal case. The prosecutor and arresting officer are not concerned with fighting for your rights. Without the help of an experienced DUI, don’t expect any favors from the prosecutor or arresting officer. They have no incentive to offer a good or even fair deal. You need a DUI attorney that know how to fight the fight and challenge the prosecutor’s evidence.
