Our Hawaii Criminal Defense Lawyers have proven track records in representing those accused of drunk driving. Getting expert legal help with your Hawaii DUI can be affordable and easy. Many of our Hawaii DUI Lawyers offer a free initial case evaluation and flexible payment options.

If you are stopped for a DUI in Hawaii, your license will very likely be revoked for a minimum of 90 days if you refuse (or fail) a blood, urine or breath test.

If you act very quickly, you have the right to submit written information to the Administrative Driver License Revocation Office for them to review in considering whether to uphold the administrative revocation you have received.

Within 8 days of your arrest, the ADLRO will issue an administrative review decision which typically upholds the administrative revocation. If you or your attorney make a timely request, (with three days) you have a right to have a hearing on this decision. The purpose of this hearing is to challenge your license revocation and / or request a conditional permit to drive for work related purposes. Again, it is recommended that you speak to an experienced Hawaii DUI lawyer before requesting this hearing.

The written review decision shall be mailed to the respondent, or to the parent or guardian of the respondent if the respondent is under the age of eighteen, no later than:

(1) Eight days after the date the notice was issued in a case involving an alcohol related offense; or

(2) Twenty-two days after the date the notice was issued in a case involving a drug related offense.

(b) The respondent shall have the opportunity to demonstrate in writing why the respondent's license and privilege to operate a vehicle, and motor vehicle registration if applicable, should not be administratively revoked and, within three days of receiving the notice of administrative revocation, as provided in section 291E-33, shall submit any written information, either by mail or in person, to the director's office or to any office or address designated by the director for that purpose.

Keep in mind, you face a separate license revocation if you are convicted of a Hawaii OVUII / DUI charge.
