Drivers License Hearings in Manhattan, KS - DUI Friday

It's DUI Friday once again in at the Manhattan, KS Attorney office.  Today is all about Driver's License Hearings in Manhattan, KS, also known as Administrative Hearings. 

I've written about Administrative Hearings for a Drivers License in Kansas a number of times.  It's the  hearing that you must request within 14 days of receiving your DUI. (I know that link shows 10 days but that's the old time period).

You must also submit a $50.00 application fee at the time you send your request to the Department of Revenue, Kansas Driver Control Bureau.  This administrative hearing is the due process that Kansas must afford you before they revoke your driving privileges.  If you don't request this hearing in the manner specified, then they will automatically revoke your driving privileges

At a Kansas Drivers License Hearing, the officer that arrested you for your DUI should be present.  If the officer which signed the certification regarding your preliminary breath test does not show then you, or your attorney, should jump up and down for a dismissal of the certification.

The other ways to have the certification dismissed (which usually means you get to keep your driving privileges) is to find errors which may be fatal to the officer's certification.

Do hire an experienced DUI attorney to inspect your certification and represent you at your administrative hearing, contact a lawyer in the Manhattan, KS area today for a free case evaluation.
