Welcome to The Law Office of Judy Kim
DMV Hearings
If you are suspected of drunk driving and refuse to take a chemical test (breath, blood, or urine test), or if you took a chemical test and the results indicate that your BAC is at or above .08%, then you will be arrested for DUI. At this time your driver’s license will automatically be confiscated and suspended. You then have 10 days from the date of your arrest to schedule an administrative hearing with the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicles to challenge the suspension. If you do not schedule a hearing within 10 days, you will lose your right to a hearing in the future, and your license will be automatically suspended for one year.
Many drivers cannot afford to give up their driving privileges. A suspended driver’s license makes it extremely difficult to get to work, school, or take care of basic daily needs. At the DMV hearing, you and your attorney have the opportunity to contest the suspension of your driver’s license, and try to get your driving privileges reinstated. However, this administrative hearing is a completely separate process from the DUI criminal trial. The result of the DMV hearing has no effect on the criminal court process, and vice versa. Therefore, a driver may win their driver’s license back at the DMV hearing, but lose it again if he/she is found guilty in court.
