Fight to save your license!

What can I do to save my license?

• First and foremost, hire an experienced attorney. There are many factors to consider. A good lawyer is absolutely necessary.
• Request a hearing and request the officer's presence. It will give you a preview of a trial, a rarity in criminal cases. The officer who signed the notice of hearing may be subpoenaed, and forced to testify before any trial
• Consider retesting the blood sample. Testing errors may save your license.
• Investigate the adequacy of the stop. The officer must have had a reasonable suspicion that a crime or traffic infraction was being committed.
• Investigate the adequacy of the arrest and request for a test. The officer must have developed a reasonable belief that you were impaired by alcohol.
• Check the times of events. Officers must perform the tests within certain guidelines.
• Check the labeling of the sample, and the expiration date of the test vials. It must be identified as being yours, and the seals must be fresh.
• Attend the motor vehicle hearing. Listen for fabrications and other errors.
