Driver's License Suspension Administrative Hearings — Be Prepared
When you are arrested for a DUI, the police immediately confiscate your driver's license and give you a DC-27 form in return. This form gives you a date for your administrative hearing, where you can challenge the suspension of your driver's license.
What many people do not know is this: even though the CD-27 form gives the date, you still have to request the hearing within 10 days of your arrest.
With a proper defense, it is possible that you will get your license back at the hearing. The attorneys of Arnold and Keck can devise your defense strategy, and guide you through the administrative hearing process.
DUI Penalties — Life Altering Setbacks
The penalties for a first drunk-driving offense can include:
- Minimum of 2 days in jail
- Minimum $500 fine
- Driver's license suspension for 30 days
Commercial drivers face even tougher consequences. If you drive for a living and are arrested for DUI, your livelihood is at stake. It is essential to have a seasoned legal advocate on your side who understands DUI defense. You will find that lawyer at Arnold and Keck.
College Students and Underage DUI
DUI laws are especially tough when underage drinking is involved. The blood alcohol concentration limit for underage drivers is only .04. Plus an underage driver will automatically lose his or her license for up to a year if convicted of DUI.
Tough laws require even tougher defense. We have a long track record of defending underage drivers against DUI charges.
