DMV Hearings

A DMV hearing is a part of any DUI, OUI or DWI process. After an arrest for driving under the influence or drunk driving, the driver has a certain amount of time to contact his/her local Department of Motor Vehicles in order to schedule a hearing regarding the suspension of his/her driver's license. This is an administrative hearing which will usually determine:

  • Whether the individual was driving the vehicle
  • Whether the arrest and police stop were lawful
  • Whether the driver's blood alcohol concentration was above the legal limit

Different states will have different policies as regards DMV hearings and the time constraints associated with these hearings.
