DUII? You May Have 10 Days to Request a DMV Hearing
If you were arrested near Central Point, your case may involve local law enforcement, Jackson County court procedures, and a separate DMV license process. Those pieces move quickly, and they do not always move together.
We help you understand both sides of the case: the criminal charge and the license suspension risk. From our Medford office, we represent clients throughout Central Point, Medford, and Southern Oregon.
A DUII arrest can trigger an implied consent suspension if you failed or refused a breath, blood, or urine test. A DMV hearing is separate from the criminal case, and the request deadline is short.
We can file the hearing request, prepare you for what to expect, and review whether the stop, arrest, testing, or paperwork can be challenged.
Some first-time DUII cases may involve diversion. Diversion is not the same as a dismissal on day one. It usually requires court approval, strict conditions, treatment, fees, and follow-through.
We explain eligibility, risks, and what each option means before you make a decision.
DUII cases often involve field sobriety tests, breath testing, officer observations, body camera footage, and police reports. Attorney Shawn Kollie is certified in NHTSA/IACP field sobriety testing, which helps us evaluate whether tests were administered and interpreted properly.
We do not promise results. We do promise to review the facts, explain the risks, and prepare you for the next step.
Call as soon as possible. The DMV hearing deadline may be only 10 days from the arrest, and that deadline can pass before your first court date.
No. The DMV hearing is about your driving privileges. The criminal case is about the DUII charge in court. You may need to deal with both at the same time.
Some first-time DUII cases may qualify for diversion, but eligibility depends on your record, the facts, and Oregon law. Diversion also comes with conditions you must complete.
Police reports, body camera video, breath or blood test records, field sobriety testing, the reason for the stop, and the officer’s observations may all matter. We review the details before recommending a strategy.
It is still wise to speak with a DUI lawyer first. Diversion can be helpful, but it includes legal admissions, deadlines, costs, treatment requirements, and consequences if something goes wrong.
