Lynnwood DUI Attorney

Experienced Representation in Lynnwood DOL Hearings

After you have been pulled over for driving under the influence, the law enforcement officer who pulled you over will often administer a breath test.  If the results of your breath test (or blood test, if applicable) shows that your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is over .08% percent, you will be arrested for drunk driving.  Additionally, the Department of Licensing (DOL) will take an administrative action against your driving privileges.  A Snohomish DUI lawyer at Baker, Lewis, Schwisow, & Laws, PLLCwill be able to provide you with experienced and aggressive defense at your DOL hearing in order to maximize your chances of retaining your driving privileges.

It is very important to remember that your DOL hearing is completely separate from your criminal charges.  The outcome of your criminal case does not have any bearing upon your DOL hearing, and vice versa.  It is also important that you are aware that you only have 20 days from the date of your arrest in which to request a DOL hearing.  If you do not request a hearing within that 20 day period, your license will be automatically suspended or revoked, depending upon the circumstances of your case and you will have waived your right to dispute that suspension or revocation:

• 1st DUI Offense - 90 day automatic license suspension
• Subsequent DUI Offense within the last 7 years - 2 year automatic license revocation
• Refusal to submit to breath testing or blood testing - 2 year automatic revocation
