How to Request a Drivers License Hearing in Prairie Village

It is critical to request a Driver License Hearing immediately as the clock starts running  from the date you are charged with DUI. Your first court date may be four to six weeks from the date you were arrested, but if you refused a breath or blood test or if you took a breath test and blew a .08 or higher, you have only fourteen calendar days or ten business days (whichever is later) to request a Drivers License Hearing. 

The Officer should have given you a DC-27 form.  The DC-27 serves as your temporary drivers  license and is valid for thirty days, however a Drivers License Hearing must be requested within ten calendar days or your Driving Privileges in Kansas will be automatically suspended.

The DUI charge in Prairie Village and the suspension of your Kansas Driving Privileges are two separate and distinct cases, the DUI charge is a criminal case and the Drivers License Hearing is civil and is administered by the Kansas Department of Revenue in Topeka, Kansas.

 When you hire the Law Offices of Charles R. Green one of the first steps we take is to request the Kansas  Drivers License Hearing on your behalf with the Kansas Department of Revenue. This not only protects your right to review constitutional issues involved in the DUI investigation and adherence to KDHE testing and Breathalyzer protocol by the arresting officer; it also allows you to continue to have full driving privileges during the administrative process.

If you have a Missouri Driver License or other out of state license your Driving Privileges may face suspension in Kansas as well as your home State so it is critical to request that  a Kansas Drivers License Hearing be held to protect your rights.
