DOL Hearing Attorney in Lynnwood

The Two Aspects of Your DUI Case

If you are arrested for DUI, you will need to address both the criminal charges against you as well as the administrative proceedings regarding actions to be taken against your license.  There are specific steps and deadlines involved in attempting to keep your license.  If these are not done correctly, it can result in actions against your license which may otherwise have been avoided.  Being unsure of what to do can be incredibly unsettling and overwhelming but you don't have to face it alone.  My name is Jonathan, an experienced Lynnwood DUI lawyer, and you can be sure your case will be addressed with competence and skill.  You only have three weeks from the date of your arrest to attempt to save your driver's license so don't wait to take action.

Fighting For Your Right to Drive

I appreciate that losing your license would have a significant impact on your life.  It may affect your ability to earn your income, execute your responsibilities, and enjoy your usual activities and freedom.  Not being able to drive is a very frightening prospect but you can be sure that I will fight energetically in my endeavor to protect your driving privileges.  You have the right to a hearing with the Department of Licensing (DOL) and I can help you to approach this strategically.  You only have 20 days to mail this in and request your hearing - so you need to make sure you retain my office before that.  There are specific ways to make this request that can benefit you.  I can argue persuasively on your behalf regarding facts which support your right to keep your license.  These may include whether your police stop had a lawful basis and if there was due cause to arrest you.  Whether you were advised of certain rights at the time of arrest and the validity of your breath and blood tests can also be presented for consideration.  It is still possible you may keep your license and I will do everything I can to help you.
