- Freeman & Freeman:
The penalties for drinking and driving have gotten more severe in
recent years, particularly for those convicted of repeat offenses. A
number of state legislatures have enacted laws that call for mandatory
jail time for repeat offenders. In some states, prosecutors are not
allowed to plea bargain in drunk driving cases. The fines imposed are
higher now than in the past, and the time drivers' licenses are
suspended has been increased. It has also become more difficult to
obtain a "hardship" license that allows a person to drive to and from
work. Now more than ever, you need an experienced drunk driving defense
attorney to work with you to help you get the best outcome possible in
your case.
- Charles Gravett: Whether
or not you hire an attorney, you MUST request an Administrative Per Se
hearing from the DMV within 10 days from the date of your DUI and
request a "stay" on your license, or you will lose your driving
privileges for up to 6 months. Once a hearing is set, your license will
automatically be stayed (which means the suspension will stop) pending
the outcome of your hearing. You must request this hearing in order to
contest the suspension of your license. This hearing is SEPARATE from
the court date you received on your citation.
- Steven Flinn:
Have you been arrested for driving under the influence?
You have only 10 days from date of arrest to file an appeal. Don't
delay!
