MVD Hearings

Being stopped for DUI and recording a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher leads to immediate consequences, including an arrest and a potential 90-day suspension of your driver's license. Once arrested, you have a critical window of 15 days to request a hearing with the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) to contest this suspension. The importance of having experienced legal representation at this hearing cannot be overstated.


Navigating MVD procedures can be complex, and the process of filing a request for a hearing must be handled meticulously to ensure it is done correctly and within the allotted time frame. A Scottsdale DUI attorney can provide invaluable assistance, ensuring that your rights are protected and increasing your chances of retaining your driving privileges.


The hearing itself is a critical juncture where various aspects of your arrest and the evidence against you will be examined. If your license suspension stems from a DUI charge, the hearing will typically review:


  • The legality of the traffic stop.
  • The circumstances surrounding your DUI arrest.
  • The accuracy and reliability of the BAC testing.
  • Compliance with required procedures during the testing process.

If your suspension is due to refusing a chemical test, the hearing will focus on:


  • The justification for the initial traffic stop.
  • The validity of your arrest.
  • Whether you indeed refused the chemical test.
  • If you were informed properly about the consequences of refusing the test.
