RENO LICENSE SUSPENSION & REVOCATION DEFENSE

Criminal Defense Attorney Serving Nevada for 25 Years

Loss of driving privileges can drastically affect your daily life. Regardless of the severity of your DUI charge, your license will be taken away if your preliminary breath test (PBT) registers more than .08 percent blood alcohol content (BAC).

If you are facing suspension or revocation of your driver's license, you need a knowledgeable Reno DUI defense attorney on your side. The Law Offices of Kenneth A. Stover pride ourselves in our quick and effective response to your call for help.

Minimize the Impact of a DUI on Your License

At our firm, we have the advantage of having former prosecution experience and more than 25 years of experience in Nevada's criminal justice system. We have seen what a DUI conviction can do to a person from both sides of the aisle. We also know how hard it is to get around Reno and the surrounding areas without a driver's license. We work tirelessly toward minimizing the impact a suspension can have on your life.

Act Quickly to Protect Your Driving Privileges

Immediately after your arrest, our Reno criminal defense lawyer begins to work toward getting your driving privileges re-established. Typically, a hearing at the Department of Motor Vehicles occurs two to three months after your arrest. We stand beside you at this hearing and help you know what to expect.

The majority of DMV hearings will result in the loss of your driver's license for 90 days. However, going to the hearing does give us the opportunity to question the police officer and get as much information about the case as possible. With this information, we may be able to dig deeper into your case, moving toward the best possible results for all DUI charges.

Key Factors Influencing Your License Suspension Case

• For example, details that may help or hinder your case include:
• An evidentiary breath test registering at .08 or above (results in losing your license seven days after your arrest)
• If you took a blood test (results in postponing your license suspension until the test results are returned)
• If the officer pulled you over without probable cause or appropriate suspicion of your intoxication
• Whether or not you actually operated a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or a drug (either legal or illegal)

Understanding Suspended License Issues in Reno, NV

In Reno, the impact of a suspended license can be particularly challenging, especially for those who rely on their vehicles to navigate the bustling streets and surrounding areas. With the local public transportation system being limited, many residents find themselves in a tough spot when their driving privileges are revoked. The City of Reno and Washoe County provide resources for those facing transportation challenges, but these options may not always meet the immediate needs of individuals dealing with a suspended license.

Local law enforcement and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) are key players in the process of license suspension. Understanding the local laws and regulations can be daunting, especially when you are already stressed about the potential consequences of a DUI charge. Many residents are unaware of their rights or the steps they can take to contest a suspension, which can lead to further complications down the line.

In Reno, we recognize that losing your license can affect not just your ability to commute to work, but also your daily responsibilities, such as picking up children from school or attending medical appointments. The anxiety of being unable to drive can be overwhelming, and we are here to help you navigate this difficult time. Our team is familiar with the local court systems and DMV procedures, allowing us to provide you with the guidance you need to address your suspended license effectively.
