At the DMV hearing, a hearing officer will render a judgment based on all the evidence presented. Many issues are discussed at the DMV hearing, including:

    * Whether the suspect was in fact the person driving the vehicle
    * Whether the arresting officer had probable cause to make the stop
    * Whether the arrest was made lawfully
    * Whether the driver had a BAC higher than the legal limit

An effective DUI attorney who is intimately familiar with DUI arrest procedures, sobriety testing procedures, breathalyzer technology and evidence guidelines will be able to challenge the prosecution regarding all of these issues to help the suspect retain his/her driving privileges until the case is over.

Once the case is over, if the suspect is found not guilty, his/her license will be reinstated, and all restrictions on his/her driving privileges will be lifted.
