St. Louis DWI Lawyer
Fighting for Your Rights at an Administrative Hearing
If you were charged with driving while intoxicated,
license suspension is automatic. The arresting officer will have taken your driver's
license and issued you a temporary one which will only be valid for 15
days. Attorney Brent Labovitz has dedicated his practice of law strictly to
criminal defense matters. This allows him to concentrate solely on defending those in similar
situations to yours. He was lead counsel on hundreds of misdemeanor and
felony criminal defense cases as a Missouri Public Defender and has the
experience you need in a
St. Louis criminal defense attorney.
After your
DWI charge, you have 15 days to request a hearing with the Department of Revenue.
At this hearing, aggressive action must be taken to defend your right
to your license. These hearings are very challenging and without an attorney
by your side, your chances of retaining your driver's license are
limited. It must be shown that you are in no way a danger to the public
and that you can cope with the responsibility of driving. Your need to
retain a license must also be proven. In Missouri, driving is not a right,
it is a privilege, and that privilege can be revoked for long periods
of time if you are not successful in fighting the suspension.
Keeping Your Driver's License Through the DWI Administrative Hearing
Not having your driver's license is not only inconvenient, it could
adversely affect your ability to work, go to school, pick your children
up and take care of day-to-day activities such as paying bills and grocery
shopping. It is worth fighting for. Your Department of Revenue Administrative
Hearing is a vital step in getting your full driving privileges back.
Please understand that this hearing is a civil matter and you will still
have to challenge the criminal case against you. The firm can represent
you in both civil and criminal defense cases. Time is of the essence so
please act quickly in retaining Attorney Labovitz's services.
