DUIs And License Revocation
After driving under the influence charges, most people wonder: Will I lose my driver’s license? If it is your first DUI or you refused a breath test during a DUI traffic stop, you will face a license suspension of seven days. If convicted, you will face a license revocation for at least one year. The length of time you may lose your license depends on your DUI history and other factors. Revocation periods include the following:
- First DUI conviction: license revocation for one year
- Second DUI conviction: license revocation for three years
- Third DUI conviction: indefinite license revocation
After the period of revocation is over, we can help you walk through the appropriate steps to get your license reinstated. We can also represent you in administrative hearings after a license suspension and help you fight for a restricted license. No matter the details of your individual situation, our goal will be to protect your long-term interests and right to drive.
