License Restorations in Sanford, NC: DMV Hearings Attorney
Immediately upon your DWI arrest, you have only ten days to schedule your DMV hearing before they automatically suspend your license. Until the hearing, you still have a valid license, so it is important to schedule this meeting to keep your independence while you await possible administrative penalties.
At the DMV hearing, they will want to suspend your license for the following lengths of time:
- One year for a first DWI
- Four years for a second DWI (hearing after 2 years)
- Permanently after a third DWI (hearing after 2 years)
Without representation at these hearings, the DMV will render you effectively helpless. It's important to hire professionals to show mistakes in the arrest and in the blood or breath samples. Especially, if this is your second or third DUI, that mid-suspension hearing is your only chance to recapture your license for four years or for the rest of your life.
Our attorneys will inform you of exactly what will occur at the hearing and prepare you to answer the questions that may be posed. They will compile all the requisite information that the court will need to make their judgment in your favor and which shows them you have complied with the requirements. If appropriate, in the loss of license for DWI, witnesses will be obtained for the hearing that can attest to your continued sobriety.
If you are facing a DMV hearing and seeking license restoration, contact a Sanford DMV hearing lawyer at our firm as soon as possible.
