Washington DOL Hearing in Olympia

Your Washington Department of Licensing Hearing and How it Affects You

DUI case

An arrest for an Olympia drunk driving crime can be immobilizing, but you have very little time to request a hearing with the Washington Department of Licensing (Washington DOL). At your Washington DOL hearing, the fate of your driving privileges will be decided. The length of your driver’s license suspension can vary depending on which WA drunk driving crime you are accused of.

After an Olympia DUI arrest, your driver’s license may be suspended. If so, you will not be able to drive for the term of the suspension, and when it’s reinstated you will have to obtain high risk (SR-22) auto insurance and maintain it for three years. From the date of your Olympia DUI arrest, you have only 20 days to request a DOL hearing. If you want any chance of retaining your driving privileges, then you need to address the issue without wasting any time.

Most Washington drivers use their vehicles for daily activities like picking up groceries, going to work, or shuttling their kids around to various places. Any driver’s license suspension can place a heavy burden on the entire family, and it could even cost you your job if your employment hinges on being allowed to drive.

Start preparing for your Washington Department of Licensing hearing immediately following your Olympia DUI arrest, because you don’t have any time to waste. You can get started by contacting one of our Olympia DUI attorneys today, so that you’re prepared for your Washington DOL hearing.
