DOL Hearings & License Suspension

Scott & Howard Lawyers Fight to Restore Your Driving Privileges

Are you concerned that your DUI arrest will lead to a driver's license suspension?

You have a right to be. Recent changes in Washington state DUI law require automatic license suspensions of varying terms, and punishments such as heavy fines and the installation of an ignition interlock device.

There is still a chance that you can spare yourself these inconveniences. We offer a tough defense of your driving privileges at Scott & Howard, P.L.L.C., in Mill Creek.

Driver's License Suspensions and Applying for Temporary Licenses

License suspensions from the DOL can range from 90 days for first-time offenders to four years for repeat offenders. In addition, you could face additional license suspension or revocation time if a court finds you guilty of the criminal DUI charges. Along with the license suspension, there may be other consequences, including regular assessments, and education and treatment classes that may be ordered.

If your driving privileges cannot be reinstated, we can help you to apply for a temporary occupational/restrictive license. This license enables you to get to your school, job, health care or community service. Even if you refused a breath test at the time of your arrest, you may still be able to qualify for this type of license.

We assist in the temporary license application process and with all necessary documentation. We can argue your case before the DOL to emphasize that you are not a driving risk. Our attorneys have proven in numerous hearings that their quality legal representation can make a positive difference.
