A first DUI offense in the state of Alabama will result in a
90-day driver's license suspension. If you wish to maintain your driving
privilege during the 90-day suspension period it is extremely important that
your Alabama DUI lawyer file a request for an administrative hearing
within 10 days of the initial arrest
with the Alabama Department of Public Safety. Even though this administrative hearing
is not a court proceeding, if you wish to be able to maintain your driving
privileges, you are going to want your Alabama DUI lawyer to handle the hearing
proceedings. Your Alabama DUI attorney is going to know what the Alabama
Department of Public Safety requires and how to maintain your driving privilege.
