Salt Lake City DMV Hearing Attorney

Need a DMV hearing lawyer in Salt Lake City?

DUI convictions have extremely severe consequences under Utah state laws.  One aspect of the penalty is the suspension or revocation of your driver's license.  This is accomplished through the DMV and is a separate administrative action from the criminal case related to the DUI.  As the DMV issues your license, they are also the only division of the state government that can suspend it.  If you or someone you know has been charged with a DUI, acting quickly with regard to a DMV hearing to challenge the suspension of your license is a vital part of the DUI process.  You will have to request a hearing with the DMV within 10 days of your arrest if you wish to challenge this driver's license suspension. 

For the hearing you will need the help of an experienced Salt Lake City criminal defense attorney to both schedule and represent you at the hearing.  When you lose the privilege to drive it can create great hardships in your life.  Most people depend on driving a car to get to work, school or church among other destinations.  Our DMV hearing lawyers from the Zabriskie Law Firm understand the importance of fighting to keep your driving privileges.  The moment you contact the office the battle for your rights is could be set into motion, based on the evidence against you and the possible errors or violations of your rights in the case.   

About DMV Hearings in Salt Lake City

When first charged with a DUI many people experience the common reaction of feeling  guilty and believing that nothing can be done.  They may decide to just suffer with the penalties.  In many cases our legal team has found that the client may not be aware that there could be aspects of the case that would open the door to a successful challenge to the prosecution's case against you, as well as the suspension of your license.  Depending upon the details of the case, the evidence to defend you may be able to be brought to the DMV.  It will be presented by your attorney at the DMV hearing to fight for your right to drive.

Many people charged with DUI and facing a license suspension do nothing to defend themselves.  It is often possible to do so, and either avoid the loss of your license and the other penalties associated with DUI or to get the case dismissed altogether, a not guilty verdict or a reduced charge.  A full review of the case against you and all the evidence gathered by law enforcement must be reviewed as soon as you have been arrested.  Fast action on the part of our attorney can lead to a better outcome in your case.
