Salt Lake City DMV Hearing Attorney

Do you need a DMV Hearing?

In Utah it is not unusual to be randomly stopped by a police officer on another pretext so you could be checked for having alcohol on your breath or for any other "evidence of impairment".   Even if you are the designated driver for the evening, if your passengers smell of alcohol, the officer may question you and insist that you submit to a Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST).   Should you agree to do the test and due to fatigue or some other reason, fail the test, the officer can consider you impaired and you can be arrested for DUI.   Under these circumstances, it is vital that you have a Salt Lake City DMV hearing lawyer protecting your rights.   Call our firm immediately to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney who knows how to defend you in your hearing.
