    The Civil Trial Prepares Us For The Criminal Trial

    A Utah DUI arrest actually sets two separate cases in motion, one civil and one criminal. The drivers’ license hearing is a civil hearing that typically lasts 30 minutes or less, and is often conducted by phone. This hearing is important to your defense because it gives you the first opportunity to question the arresting officer under oath. This will help us prepare more effectively for the criminal case. It will also “lock” the officer into those prior statements given under oath.

    Can you win at the driver’s license hearing? Yes, but remember that winning your civil hearing only means you get to keep driving while the criminal case is still pending. If you are later convicted on DUI charges, you can still lose your license. If you are convicted of a first-time DUI, your driver’s license will be suspended for 120 days. A second or subsequent conviction will result in a two-year suspension.

    At Greg S. Law, our first goal is always to see our clients walk away free with no criminal record or penalties. Even when the prosecution has a strong case and we are not able to make any headway toward this goal, we use our experience to negotiate a plea to the lesser offense of impaired driving, which carries no mandatory jail sentence, a reduced fine, and no drivers license suspension.
