Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after a DUI arrest?

You’ll typically be booked and given a court date, and the DMV will begin the process to suspend your license. You only have a short window to request a DMV hearing, so it’s important to act fast. We help with both the criminal and administrative side of your case.
Yes, but we may be able to stop or delay the suspension through a DMV hearing. We’ll request the hearing on your behalf and represent you throughout the process. In many cases, we can fight to preserve your driving privileges.
Absolutely. Even a first offense can carry fines, license suspension, and a permanent mark on your record. We’ll fight to reduce or dismiss the charges — or explore options like diversion, when available.
Refusing a chemical test can result in automatic license suspension, but it’s still possible to fight the charge. We’ll review whether your rights were violated or if procedures weren’t followed correctly. In some cases, test refusal can actually strengthen your defense.
