DMV Hearings

Neal Gibbons Handling Your DMV Hearing

DMV Hearings are an integral part of our practice at the Law Offices of Neal Gibbons.  When you are arrested for DUI the police officer will confiscate your license and is authorized by the law to issue you a temporary license that is good for only 30 days along with the notice of impending suspension. Once this occurs you only have ten days to contact the DMV to schedule a hearing in order  to attempt to keep your license from being revoked.  If you fail to schedule this hearing, your suspension will become effective automatically after the 30 days are up.

The Law Offices Of Attorney Neal Gibbon prides itself on our success with DMV hearings.  If you do not have a DUI attorney for this hearing, your chance of any success in preventing your license suspension is almost nonexistent.  We encourage all our clients to let us set and conduct DMV hearings on their behalf.  Remember, if you don't fight it, you can't win it.  At this stage it is still possible to prevent your license from being suspended, provided you have the right defensive strategy.

Although you can choose to have your DMV Hearing over the phone, we recommend you schedule it in person, with your attorney present.  The hearing will be held at a local DMV Driver's Safety Office, where a Hearing officer will act as a judge.  Because the police officer that arrested you is required to be present, this allows your attorney to cross examine the officer to determine if any procedural steps were not done correctly, opening the door to a possible defense for you to not lose your license.  Other witnesses can be brought it to the hearing as well.

Issues to be discussed will include whether you were lawfully arrested and if your blood alcohol content was over the legal limit of .08%.  Attorney Neal Gibbons strategy will be to challenge the procedures in order to attempt to overturn your license suspension.  

Commercial drivers must especially beware when charged with a DUI/DWI. A DUI/DWI conviction can result in the loss of the commercial license for one year.  A second major violation can cause a loss of commercial license for life.
