Protect Your License
If you were arrested for a DUI in Utah, you are subject to an automatic driver's license suspension. To challenge your driver's license suspension, you must request a hearing with the DMV within 10 days of your arrest.
The duration of your driver's license suspension depends on the facts of your case. If you are 21 or older and you are convicted of a first DUI, your driver's license may be suspended for 120 days. A more significant period of suspension may be imposed if you are under 21, refused to submit to a breathalyzer test, had a previous DUI, or other aggravating factors are present in your case.
To protect your rights, contact an experienced DUI defense attorney who can challenge your driver's license suspension. For help in the Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas, contact Wasatch Advocates. We handle all aspects of DUI defense, including the criminal charges and the DMV license suspension hearings.
How Can We Help?
There are a number of ways that we can limit your exposure to adverse penalties and consequences. Our criminal defense team includes a former prosecutor and former public defender — we understand the system and how it works.
We will provide an aggressive and comprehensive defense of your rights. Depending on the facts of your case, we may be able to pursue a plea agreement to a lesser charge that will result in no driver's license suspension. In other cases, we may be able to pursue a case dismissal prior to trial, or obtain a not guilty verdict at the conclusion of a bench or jury trial. While the results of each case vary, there are many options that may limit your loss of driving privileges.
