If you have been arrested for a DUI, understanding the implications of your driver's license is crucial. In this informative video, Matt Knauss of Knauss Law Firm provides essential information about your driver's license and the actions you should take. Here's what you need to know:

  1. Request a Hearing within Seven Days: If you have refused a breath test at the station or your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was .08 or higher, the Department of Licensing (DOL) plans to suspend your driver's license. It is essential to act quickly because you only have seven days to request a hearing to challenge the suspension. This hearing takes place as a conference call and provides an opportunity to contest the DOL's decision.
  2. Understanding the Hearing Process: The hearing is conducted by a Department of Licensing employee who will determine whether your driver's license should be suspended. It is important to note that the process may not be entirely fair, as no prosecutor is present. However, it presents a valuable opportunity for your attorney to question the arresting officer under oath, shedding light on your arrest's circumstances.
  3. Options for Restricted Driver's License: If your driver's license suspension is upheld, Knauss Law Firm can assist you in obtaining a restricted driver's license. This license allows you to drive throughout Washington, provided you have an interlock device, commonly known as a breathalyzer, installed in your vehicle. Additionally, you will need to acquire a special insurance policy. With the help of Knauss Law Firm, many clients have successfully maintained their driving privileges despite a DUI arrest.
