An Attorney For Your Arizona MVD Hearing

Being charged with a DUI or fake ID in Arizona comes with not just a criminal case, but also a civil proceeding for your driver’s license. Your MVD hearing is the first opportunity you have to defend your driving privileges. A suspended license is more than just a hassle, it could be detrimental to your job, school, and your family responsibilities.

What You Should Expect From A DUI Charge

DUI charges have a minimum 90-day suspension period. Generally, you are issued an order of suspension when first arrested for DUI. From this time you have 15 days to request a hearing with the MVD. At this hearing, it is important you have an experienced DUI lawyer on your side. An experienced lawyer knows how to ensure you get the minimum length suspension for your criminal charges.

If this is not your first DUI, you will experience a driver’s license for a lot longer than 90 days. If you have been charged with possession of a fake ID, especially if the arresting agency is the Arizona Department of Liquor, you will lose your license for six months. This is a straight six-month license suspension. You will not be able to receive a restricted license or a permit to drive to school or work. This is why it is critical that you have an attorney present at your MVD hearing.
