Administrative Per Se
Sanctions Imposed by the DMV
The State of Connecticut imposes severe Administrative Penalties in addition to the Criminal Penalties imposed by the Court. If you have been arrested for operating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and either failed a chemical alcohol analysis of your blood, breath, or urine or refused to submit to such analysis, your operator's license or privilege is suspended effective 12:01 a.m. on the thirty-first day following the date of the arrest.
A Notice of Suspension will be mailed to your address
of record allowing seven days to request a hearing.
It is vitally important that you contact the skilled DUI Defense Attorney Matthew T. Marin so that we can begin to prepare a successful defense to be presented at the Department of Motor Vehicles hearing. The Administrative Penalties imposed by the DMV are severe.
