DMV Hearings - The process and procedures
David Lehr Law
No matter what else that you do, make sure that you request a DMV hearing within ten days of your arrest. We have had clients who called us after their ten-day period was up. We won their court cases, but they still lost their driver’s licenses to the DMV.
When you are arrested for DUI , the arresting officer will nearly always take your permanent driver’s license and give you a “pink sheet” for a temporary license. This temporary license will expire thirty days after the date of your arrest, leaving you unable to lawfully drive. It is possible to avoid suspension of your driver’s license, but only if you request a DMV hearing within ten days of your arrest – and only if you present a successful defense at the DMV hearing.
Once you request a DMV hearing, the DMV will send you a “white sheet” that replaces your “pink sheet” temporary driver’s license. Your white sheet will allow you to continue to drive pending the outcome of your DMV hearing. During the hearing, the DUI defense attorney will present all available arguments for restoring your permanent driver’s license.
A drunk driving charge can result in the loss of your license, financial ruin, family problems and even termination of your employment. It is important not to give up hope or try to fight the charges alone.
Going it alone is never recommended. There are many legal and technical aspects to DUI that require legal training to navigate.
A lawyer for DUI can challenge the cause of arrest, the procedures involved, and any mitigating circumstances.
