Defending Your License at the DMV Hearing
One of the first steps you must take following an arrest for DUI is to request a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) hearing to contest the automatic suspension of your driver's license.
There are two reasons why this is vitally important: First, if you don't fight for your right to drive, you will lose it; and second, the DMV hearing is often an excellent opportunity for an experienced attorney to begin building a strong defense against the DUI charge.
The criminal defense attorneys at the Denver law firm of Fife, Mangnall & Mossinghoff in represent clients accused drunk driving and related offenses in license suspension and revocation hearings before the DMV. We also fight a full range of traffic violations for our clients.
Time is running out to request a DMV hearing to preserve your driving privileges or to challenge the installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. Contact us now for a free consultation to learn more.
After the DMV Hearing
Many times, a client will come to us after a DMV hearing has not gone their way. The lawyers of Fife, Mangnall & Mossinghoff have a proven track record of winning appeals before the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles.
Even in cases in which an appeal is unlikely to succeed, the process can have substantial benefits to your criminal case. We will analyze the transcripts of the initial DMV hearing in order to uncover any inconsistencies in the arresting officer's testimony or evidence of police procedural error that may be grounds for arguing that your charges should be dropped or the case should be dismissed.
