New York DWI Information

Hiring a criminal defense attorney is one of the smartest things you can do if you face criminal charges for driving while intoxicated. Few people realize that the DMV will try to take your license, while the court handles the criminal part of the case. In order to safeguard yourself, not only should you seek representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney, you will also need to be in contact with both the DMV and the Court. If a police officer holds on to your license, and you receive a pink provisional license, the process of suspending your license is most likely underway. You need to schedule a DMV hearing within 10 days of the arrest. If, however, you retain an attorney in time, your criminal defense attorney can request the DMV hearing for you. If more than 10 days have passed, you still have the possibility of obtaining a hearing, especially if the temporary license was not completed correctly.
