Colorado Attorney Advocating for Clients at DMV Hearings
If you were arrested for DUI, your driver's license was revoked pending the outcome of your case. Recovering your license is a totally separate process from the criminal case against you; you will need to appear at a Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) hearing to retain or reinstate your license. It is important to retain a lawyer to help you do this, as the state will present evidence at this hearing that may be used against you in the criminal DUI proceedings. The DMV hearing is a preview of the criminal case.
More Than 30 Years of DUI Defense Experience
At the Denver law offices of James L. Finegan, P.C., attorney Finegan helps clients recover their driver's licenses, appearing at DMV hearings to advocate for their ability to drive and to get a look at the evidence against them. It can be difficult to recover a driver's license if the driver was under 21, had a blood alcohol content higher than .08 (.02 if the driver was under 21), refused BAC testing or drove on a commercial driver's license (CDL) with a BAC of .04 or more. However, attorney Finegan uses his more than 30 years of legal experience to seek Interlock licenses so that clients can continue to work or transport their children to school.
Act Quickly After a DUI/DWAI Arrest
In other circumstances, it is possible to challenge the revocation of your license at a DMV hearing. Time is of the essence in these matters; you have only seven days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing. Once you have requested a hearing, you will most likely have temporary driving privileges until the date of the hearing. However, your license can still be revoked, depending on the outcome of the DMV hearing. If you do not request a hearing, your license revocation will continue.
