DUI / Criminal Traffic Defense

DUI/Criminal Traffic Defense Attorney in Washington, D.C.

DC ATTORNEY DEFENDING PEOPLE CHARGED WITH CRIMES, TICKETS & REVOCATIONS

If you were arrested for drunk driving, your driver’s license could be revoked by the DC DMV within at least ten (10) Days. Actions taken by the DMV are separate and apart from your pending criminal case at the DC superior court. An officer was required to serve you with a notice of proposed revocation. Whether he did or not, the DMV can take action against you. It is important to contact a lawyer right away so you do not miss any deadlines concerning your driving privileges.

If you are facing a license revocation or a CDL disqualification call Riley Legal immediately for help. You may have defenses or options that enable you to retain your right to drive.

If you received a DC traffic ticket you must request a hearing within 30 calendar days of the ticket issue date. Failure to schedule a hearing within 30 days may result in the ticket fine doubling. Failure to respond within 60 calendar days may result in a finding of liability and a suspension of your D.C. Driver’s license or your privilege to drive in D.C. Payment of a ticket is an admission of guilt and may lead to points on your record. Don't pay it if you want to contest it.
