Time is running out. Here’s what you MUST do right now.
A DUI arrest can happen to anyone. One drink too many, one bad decision, and suddenly you’re facing jail time, huge fines, and a criminal record. However, what you do in the next 48 hours determines whether you beat this charge or lose everything.
The 10-Day License Deadline
First critical fact: You have only 10-15 days (depending on your state) to request a DMV hearing to save your driver’s license. Miss this deadline and your license gets suspended automatically – even before any conviction.
Additionally, evidence disappears fast. Video footage, witness memories, and blood test samples are freshest right now.
You’re Fighting Two Cases
Criminal case – The DUI charge that could mean jail
DMV case – Your license suspension hearing
Moreover, these are completely separate. You can win one and lose the other, which is why you need expert help immediately.
What You’re Really Facing
A DUI conviction destroys lives:
- Jail time (even for first offenses)
- Fines of $5,000-$10,000+
- License suspension (6 months to years)
- Ignition interlock device required
- Insurance rates triple
- Criminal record forever
- Job loss and career damage
- Immigration consequences
Furthermore, a second DUI brings mandatory jail time in most states.
Do This RIGHT NOW
- Request DMV hearing (don’t miss the 10-day deadline!)
- Write down everything you remember
- Don’t discuss your case with anyone
- Don’t accept any plea deal yet
- Call an experienced DUI attorney immediately
