Important DUI Facts For Your DUI Arrest or DUI Charge

A DUI Arrest and DUI Charge have serious consequences you are facing a mandatory jail sentence, as well as other serious collateral consequences that will affect your future. An attorney who limits their practice to DUI will give you peace of mind so that you can return to normal life.

1. 1 If you have a DUI Arrest:

   Even though you may not yet have a court date after your DUI Arrest, the DUI Arrest will cause Department Of Licensing (DOL) to suspend or revoke your license.

2. 2 Hole Punch In Your License?

   If your driver’s license has a hole punched in it, your license is still valid but you MUST mail a hearing request to challenge the DOL’s proposed suspension within 20 days of your arrest. This is a time sensitive matter and Jonathan Rands will help with the timing.

   If you were not given a court date when you were arrested for DUI, the court will schedule your arraignment for the DUI Charge. An experienced DUI attorney familiar with the court you are in is highly recommended.
