What to Expect at the Administrative License Suspension (ALS) Hearing

The Department of Driver Services only has to prove that, more likely than not, you were driving under the influence. This is not a very hard standard of proof to meet. That being said, with an Atlanta DUI lawyer at your side, your chances of winning your case could immensely improve.

Some of your defenses could include:

  • That the arresting officer did not have a valid reason to stop you
  • That the arresting officer did not have a valid reason to conduct the arrest
  • That you, in fact, did not refuse to take a chemical DUI test

More importantly, if you have a DUI attorney present at the DDS hearing, this gives you an invaluable opportunity to learn more about the details in your case and to assess the strength of the evidence against you. Your ALS hearing could be a crucial first step in building your defense.
