How to Protect Your Driver's License

Keeping Your Right to Drive
Most of us have lives that would be greatly affected by the loss of our right to drive. If you can’t drive, simple acts like getting to work, taking your children to school, or even going to the grocery store become incredibly difficult.  If you’ve been charged with a DUI the Callahan Law firm can help you fight to keep your right to drive.

Washington State DUI Laws and Your License
If you have been arrested for a DUI in the state of Washington and you gave a breath (or blood) sample at or over the legal limit of 0.08, or if you refused to take a blood/breath test, your license will be subject to administrative suspension or revocation 60 days following your arrest.  Even if your criminal charge of DUI is never filed, or is ultimately dismissed, the Washington State Department of Licensing will still administratively suspend or revoke your license.

However, in Washington State you have only 30 days from the date of your DUI arrest to request a hearing with the Department of Licensing (DOL). After these 30 days, you will automatically lose your license and your right to a hearing.
