Fight to Keep Your Driver’s License

You only have 10 days to request a hearing to challenge an administrative (DMV) suspension of your driver’s license. The administrative hearing is an entirely separate proceeding from the criminal DUII court hearing. If you wait until your first court appearance on the criminal charge, you will have already lost your driver’s license.

David has significant experience representing people facing first-time DUII charges. He will work to have you accepted into a diversion program, which will allow you to take classes in lieu of time in jail.

David also represents those facing repeat DUII charges.If this is not your first DUII charge, it is extremely important to hire an attorney to protect your rights, and help you avoid jail and other serious consequences. A third DUII conviction in a 10-year period is a felony and will result in the permanent revocation of your driver’s license.
