Helping You Understand DUI/Drunk Driving DMV Hearing

A distinct relationship exists between a DMV hearing and a court trial for DUI offenses. A DMV hearing on a DUI offense is different from the DUI court hearing where the former is not concerned about a criminal act being committed while the latter does.

The DMV hearing officer focuses on the circumstances of the DUI arrest to decide on the outcome of driving privileges of the defendant. However, the two hearings are inextricably intertwined with outcome from one avenue impacting the outcome of the other.
