How will a Las Vegas DUI impact my drivers license?
DUI arrests trigger two separate proceedings against you; your criminal case and your administrative “DMV” case. Your DMV hearing will occur prior to your criminal trial. A DUI arrest coupled with a BAC level of 0.08 or higher, will automatically result in your Nevada driver’s license being revoked. If you contact a Las Vegas DUI lawyer with Claggett, Hayes & Sykes right away, a DMV hearing can be requested to contest the revocation of your Nevada driver’s license. However, the State of Nevada (or City if you were arrested in NLV, Henderson or the City of Las Vegas) gets “two bites at the apple” at revoking your driving privileges. Even if the DMV hearing ends in your favor, a criminal conviction will automatically result in your driver’s license being revoked. The exact timing of your license revocation will depend on the test that is used to measure your BAC.
