We’ll Handle Your DOL Hearing and Protect Your License
After a DUI arrest, your license will be automatically suspended unless you request a Department of Licensing (DOL) hearing within 7 days. Most firms won’t even bother to request a hearing because they claim it’s impossible to win. In reality, other lawyers don’t have the experience and skills required to protect their clients’ licenses.
At NextLaw, we do things differently. Our Seattle DUI lawyers will not only represent you during the hearing, but we’ll also cover the $375 fee that you’re required to pay to request a DOL hearing. At the hearing, we’ll take an aggressive approach and fight relentlessly to protect you from license suspension.

We Can Challenge the Evidence that Prosecutors Have Against You
Depending on the details of your case, getting your charges reduced or dropped may require us to use evidence to challenge the arresting officer’s behavior and/or the evidence that prosecutors have against you. To do so, our DUI attorneys in Seattle will thoroughly investigate your case and gather important evidence.
Once we’ve collected all the information, records, testimonies, and other pieces of evidence available, we’ll work hard to challenge the prosecutor’s case by making one or more of the following assertions:
- Lack of probable cause for the traffic stop
- Field sobriety tests were administered incorrectly
- Your constitutional rights were violated
- Breath or blood tests were flawed
- Your blood alcohol content was elevated because of a medical condition
These are just a few of the claims we can make to challenge the evidence there is against you. No matter how serious or complicated your case is, you can count on us to do everything we can to fight your charges. Reach out to our firm today so we have the time we need to collect evidence and mount a strong defense on your behalf.
