If you get a DUI in Junction City or anywhere else in the State of Kansas you have 14 days to request an administrative hearing from the Kansas Driver Control Bureau. The procedure for doing this is found on the back of the DC-27 form which you should have been given after your arrest. It's a pink piece of paper that is a copy of your arresting officer's certification that you either failed or refused a preliminary breath test.
In order to protect your driving privileges, contact a knowledgeable Junction City DUI attorney to help you review your case. The sooner an attorney is contacted the sooner they can begin protecting your driving privileges and taking action in your criminal case. This also brings up an important point: your driver's license hearing request associated with your DC-27 form is not usually relevant to the criminal aspect of your DUI. So if you get a "win" on your administrative (a.k.a. driver's license) hearing it does not mean you have beat the criminal charges associated with the DUI. The same applies in the criminal case in that if you get a "win" on the criminal side, it does not necessarily mean that your driver's license and driving privileges will remain after you get a DUI.
For more information, contact an attorney who serves the Junction City, and Manhattan, Kansas areas.
