I Can Help Keep You on the Road
If you were arrested for DUI/DWI in Washington State, you can request a hearing before the Department of Licensing (DOL) to contest the driver’s license suspension. You must request a DOL hearing within 20 days of the arrest or your driver’s license will be suspended automatically.
As your defense attorney, I can assist you with all criminal and administrative matters, including hearings before the DOL.
If this is your first DUI offense and you do not request a hearing, your driver’s license will be automatically suspended for 90 days, longer if it is alleged you refused a BAC or your BAC was greater than .15. However, if you have a Washington Driver’s License, it is possible to qualify for an Ignition Interlock License. To do this, you will need to comply with having an ignition interlock device installed on your car and carry SR-22 insurance. I can help walk you thru the process, if you feel overwhelmed with red tape.
Repeat offenders face driver’s license suspension anywhere from two years to four years, depending on the number of past offenses and the circumstances surrounding the DUI arrest.
I am committed to helping my clients avoid driver’s license suspension and revocation. Remember, you must act swiftly and obtain help from a defense attorney as soon as possible after your DUI arrest.
