A Lawyer That You Can Trust

DMV

“What happens to my license when I get a DUI?”

THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

Time is of the essence when you are arrested for DUI or any other traffic offense. Regardless of what the state is doing with the prosecution of your case, the DMV takes immediate action. Many people who chose to represent themselves learn the lesson the hard way and have their driver’s license suspended automatically 10 days after their arrest.

Attorney Pat Carey will immediately stop the DMV from taking action on your license and you will be able to continue to drive until he has the opportunity to fight for your license at a DMV hearing.

Call our offices immediately, or learn like many other have, how easy it is to lose your license.
