What Happens During the Colorado Department of Safety Administrative License Hearing After a DUI Arrest?

Answer:

After a Colorado DUI arrest, the administrative license hearing is separate from the criminal case. If an officer takes your driver’s license, you may request a hearing to challenge the suspension, but strict deadlines apply, so acting quickly is important.

Following a DUI arrest, an officer may take your driver’s license and begin the administrative suspension process.

You can challenge that suspension by requesting an administrative license hearing. The hearing focuses on your driving privileges and proceeds separately from the criminal DUI case.

Because the deadline to request a hearing is short, speak with an experienced Colorado DUI attorney as soon as possible. Hebets & McCallin can help you understand the process and protect your rights.
