Department of Licensing ~ Driver's License Suspensions

Don't hesitate if you have been charged with DUI, as you only have only 30 days to request a hearing to avoid any possible license suspension. Failure to request a hearing will result in the automatic suspension of your license for at least 90 days on your first offense. The officer who arrested you should have provided you with the necessary hearing request form. If you don't have that form download it here (PDF) and fill it out immediately. Then contact Nathan Webb and proceed with all of the critical next steps.

Two Tracks in DUI

Every DUI holds within two tracks...

(1) Criminal track - which begins when you are formally charged at an arraignment (this can occur long after your arrest)

(2) Civil (administrative) track - which begins on the date of your arrest. You must request a hearing with the DOL (Department of Licensing) or your license will be automatically suspended, even if your criminal matter is resolved.

Failure to request a hearing WILL result in the suspension of your license!
Don't let your privilege to drive be taken without a fight! You will also be required to have SR-22 (high-risk) insurance to reinstate your license.

Administrative hearings

We handle your administrative (DOL) hearing at our office - it is a telephonic hearing which does not require your presence. You need an attorney who understands the issues involved in these hearings so that you can fight any license suspension. See our results page for some DOL hearing results.

Possible ways to avoid license suspensions include:

  • Officer was not certified to operate/administer BAC Datamaster
  • Officer had no basis for stopping your vehicle
  • You were not properly read your Implied Consent Warnings
  • Officer failed to adhere to the protocol outlined in the WAC (Washington Administrative Code) for administering the BAC
  • There was no probable cause for your arrest
  • Missing information in report
  • Officer failed to sign report

Let us help you with this daunting task, as a license suspension is inevitable if you fail to request a hearing, EVEN IF YOUR DUI IS DISMISSED IN THE CRIMINAL TRACK!!!
