DUI License Suspension

Lynnwood Suspended LIcense Attorney

Anyone arrested for DUI faces a possible license suspension in Washington State. This action is separate from your criminal charges for DUI and is handled through the Department of Licensing (DOL). However, your license can be suspended either administratively or if you are convicted.

After your arrest, the police officer will punch a hole in your license, thereby beginning the process leading to suspension. Typically, your license suspension will begin 30 days after your arrest. You must file a request for a hearing from the DOL within 7 days of your arrest in order to fight the suspension. Our firm at The Law Offices of Lance Fryrear can help you with this process. As a skilled Lynnwood suspended license lawyers, we have extensive experience in this area.

  • However, you may be eligible for an ignition interlock license, which allows you to drive by blowing into an ignition interlock device and showing you have no alcohol in your system. It is connected to your vehicle's ignition system.
  • You must also provide proof that you have insurance during and up to three years after re-instatement of your license.

If during your arrest you refused to take a breath test, but have no prior DUI suspensions, you can expect a one year suspension. Again, you may be eligible for the ignition interlock license under certain circumstances. A two year suspension can occur if you have had a prior suspension within the past seven years.

There are different rules and limits for drivers of commercial motor vehicles and minors. The insurance required following a suspension is known as SR-22 Insurance and is generally more expensive than normal insurance.
