About this site

A DUI or DWI arrest starts two separate cases. One is the criminal case, which is slow and which most people spend their first two weeks worrying about. The other runs at the state motor vehicle agency, is about whether you can keep driving, and has a deadline measured in days.

That second case is the one that quietly expires. Not because people are careless, but because nobody told them it existed. The notice they were handed at the roadside looked like paperwork rather than a countdown.

This site was built to close that gap. It answers what happens, when, and in which courtroom, for the state you were actually arrested in.

Every legal figure here comes from the statute it describes and carries a citation you can check. Nothing publishes until a person has read the primary source. Where we have not done that work yet, the page shows nothing rather than an approximation, because a wrong deadline costs someone their license.

That is a slower way to build a directory. It is the only way we were willing to build this one.

duilawyers.legal is independent. It is not a law firm, and it is not affiliated with any bar association, court or government agency.

The legal information here is researched against primary statutory sources and cited to them. It is not reviewed by a licensed attorney, and nothing on this site is legal advice about your case.

It is not legal advice, and reading it does not make anyone your lawyer. It cannot tell you what will happen in your case, because that turns on facts only you and your attorney know.

We also do not rank attorneys by quality, because we have no honest way to measure that. Listings are built from public bar records, and paid placement is always labeled as paid.

Corrections are genuinely welcome. If something here is wrong, or out of date because a statute changed, we want to know.
