License suspension issues and how quickly you can get back on the road are of paramount importance to us.
Typically, there are two separate kinds of license suspensions that can result from a DUI arrest: A DMV administrative per se (APS) suspension, and a court suspension as a result of a court conviction for a DUI.
1st—4 months (can obtain a restricted license after first 30 days of suspension if complies with some other requirements)
2nd—1 year (can obtain a restricted license see below under DUI conviction suspensions)
3rd—2 years (can obtain a restricted license see below under DUI conviction suspensions)
As of January 2019, for alcohol related APS actions, there is a way to avoid having any period of an actual suspension if requirements are met such as obtaining an ignition interlock, enrolling in a DUI program, and obtaining a SR22. This does not apply to refusal and drug only DUI cases.
1st—6 months if BAC under .20 (can obtain restricted license after the first 30 days of the APS suspension is served and complies with some other requirements) 10 months if BAC over .20
2nd—2 years (can obtain a restricted license 90 days after conviction with installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) and complies with some other requirements)
3rd—3 years (can obtain a restricted license 6 months after conviction with installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) and complies with some other requirements)
