Hebets & McCallin, P.C.

A DUI arrest in Colorado can trigger more than a criminal case. For many drivers, one of the most urgent concerns is the Colorado DMV hearing that may determine whether they can continue driving. 🚗⚖️

Many people are surprised to learn that the DMV process is completely separate from criminal court. A failed chemical test, refusal to submit to testing, or certain prior offenses can lead to administrative action against your license. Acting quickly is critical because missing the deadline to request a hearing could result in an automatic suspension.

Hebets & McCallin P.C. in Denver helps clients understand what to expect throughout the DMV hearing process. Preparation often involves reviewing arrest reports, chemical test results, testing procedures, and other evidence that may impact the outcome. Questions about probable cause, equipment maintenance, procedural compliance, and implied consent requirements can all become important factors during the hearing.

The administrative law judge will review evidence and testimony before deciding whether driving privileges should be suspended, restricted, or maintained. Outcomes vary based on the specific facts of each case, including BAC levels and prior driving history.
