Rhode Island DMV Hearing Attorney

How DMV Hearings Can Impact Your License

DMV hearings are a common part of the DUI process, and occur parallel to the criminal trial that a driver must endure at the hands of an arrest for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. There is much more attention cast on criminal proceedings related to DUI, however, and DMV are a crucial aspect of your case that must be addressed by a skilled legal professional. DMV hearings seek to determine the status of the individuals' license by reviewing all pertinent information related to the matter, from field sobriety tests, to arrest, even to the initial reasons for the stop.

DMV hearings do not consult juries, and they do not include eyewitness testimony that may have been an advantage when facing criminal DUI charges. Instead, DMV hearings focus on police reports and statements as well as breath test results, as well as field sobriety test results. Although DMV hearings are not legal proceedings that seek to regulate the restrictions on your license rather than deal with matters like prison time, fines or other penalties, there are crucial reasons to enlist the support of an experienced Rhode Island DUI attorney who is familiar with this type of process.
