About MVD Hearings in Chandler

Chandler MVD Hearing Defense Lawyer

A Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) hearing is the administrative hearing in which you can fight to contest the automatic suspension of your driver's license after a DUI charge.  There are fewer criteria considered when evidence is against you is reviewed in the hearing as there would be in a court of law.  It is important to hire a Chandler DUI defense lawyer who thoroughly understands the MVD hearings and can fight for a better outcome in the hearing for clients by negotiating and presenting evidence on your behalf.

MVD Hearings and DUI Defense

The arresting officer and the person who administered your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) test will be present at the MVD hearing.  The hearing is primarily concerned with the details surrounding your BAC test and DUI circumstances in relation to your driving privileges only, and is separate from any criminal charges you may be facing.  A prosecutor will not be present which gives defense an opportunity to question police officers.  If there is found to be any flaw or discrepancy, it can be re-introduced during trial and may be very beneficial for the defense case in court later. 

The MVD hearing is a civil proceeding and concerns only your driving privileges.  If your BAC was at .08% or higher, you will receive a 90 day suspension.  If you refused to take a BAC test, you will be facing a 12 month license suspension.  A skilled attorney from the Knowles Law Firm may be able to effectively fight for your right to drive by contesting the evidence in the case.  You will have a much higher chance of success in retaining your driving privileges if you come with a qualified attorney who is very familiar with MVD hearings and presents the evidence on your behalf.  It is important to act quickly as if you wait too long your license will be automatically suspended.  You have only 15 days from the time of your arrest to request an MVD hearing.  With fast action on the part of the legal team at the Knowles Law Firm you can increase the likelihood of a better outcome in the MVD hearing.
