By far, one of the biggest concern or question people have following a DUI/DWI arrest is what will happen to your driver’s license. Few people can afford to lose their license for a year – which our Snohomish County WA DUI lawyers explain is a common penalty for a DUI.
What can you expect to happen to your Washington State Driver’s License? At the time of your arrest, the police officer may have punched a hole through your license. This indicates that your license will expire within 60 days of your arrest. This applies whether you are convicted or found innocent of all charges. If you are found innocent, you will need to reapply for your license, which will include taking all of the driver’s license tests and paying the application fee.
Our Everett DWI WA attorneys state that you have another option if your license is suspended. You may be able to get an occupational license. Our Snohomish County WA DUI lawyers explains that your chance of getting an occupational license depends on a variety of circumstances – such as whether you willing complied with the breath or blood tests, whether you have a previous DUI offense, and your driving history. If your record is clear, you may be able to be granted an occupational license if you meet the requirements established by the Department of Licensing. Your Everett DWI WA attorneys will argue your case before the licensing department.
Chances are, you’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about the penalty phase that comes with a DUI. The idea of a possible jail sentence can be especially frightening. Fortunately, our Snohomish County WA DUI lawyers can possibly come up with other options. One option is Electronic Home Monitoring (EHM). This option allows you to serve your penalty at home instead of in jail. EHM allows you to attend work, go for alcohol treatment, and return home.
Another option your Everett DWI WA attorneys may recommend is a work release program. With this program, you live in a correctional facility for your sentence, but are able to leave each day to go to work. Of course, you must return to the facility following work. While at work, you will wear an electronic bracelet around your ankle.
