If you are placed under arrest for allegedly driving under the influence (DUI), you only have 7 days from the date of your arrest to request a DMV hearing or your license will automatically be suspended for a minimum of nine months. There are certain circumstances, such as refusing to take a blood or breath test, which could lead to the mandatory suspension of your license for an entire year. Once the 7-day time period has elapsed, you will no longer have the right to challenge your license suspension or fight to regain any portion of your driving privileges.
Until that time, you are advised to take advantage of the opportunity you have been given and waste no time in hiring an experienced DUI attorney to represent your case.
