You should have an attorney for any DMV hearing involving alcohol or drugs. You want an experienced DUI attorney who knows how to handle these specific cases, knows the rules, and knows what the DMV needs to see in order to set the case aside to keep your license from being suspended.
When you get arrested for a DUI and have a DMV hearing, you may be wondering..
● Should I do this?
● What should I do?
● Should I call the attorney first?
● Should I get the DMV hearing first?
If you’re within the 10 days of arrest, it’s highly recommended that you find an experienced DUI lawyer in whatever county your case is in and have that attorney contact the DMV to request the hearing. That is the best chance you will have to get a hearing officer. Some hearing officers are more likely than others to not suspend you.
Having a better chance from the beginning is often the difference between winning and losing your DMV hearing and getting your license suspended.
The DMV hearing is in front of an administrative hearing officer. The burden of proof is different in the DMV hearing than it is in court. In court, the prosecutor’s office has to show that you’re guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. At the DMV, it’s a much lower standard that the hearing officer needs to find.
The civil standard for burden of proof is that you are more likely than not to be guilty. It doesn’t take very much for them to be able to prove the case against you. An experienced DUI attorney who’s used to dealing with these cases will know how to tip the scales back in your favor and help you win your case and avoid a suspension.
