Connecticut Drunk Driving Defense Attorney
Good people make bad mistakes.
If you have been charged with drunk driving in Connecticut, whether it`s your first time or you`ve faced DWI charges before, the criminal defense lawyers at Volman Law can help. We work aggressively to minimize the negative consequences you face for one bad night. Contact our Shelton law office today to discuss your case.
Connecticut is Tough on Drunk Drivers
If you have been charged with drunk driving, you face the possibility of license suspension or revocation from two angles: in an administrative proceeding before the DMV and in criminal court. It`s important to fight DUI charges at both levels.
Talk with a lawyer as soon as possible. You must contact the DMV within 7 days after you receive your suspension notice to request a DMV hearing. A hearing will then be scheduled within 30 days to determine if your license will be suspended.
