| Alcohol related offenses are one of the most commonly charged offenses in the State of Oklahoma. The "fake" science and tale-tell signs of intoxication which are involved in an officer's determination of your intoxication must be immediately challenged and tested to preserve your rights; both in the criminal aspect of the criminal charges pending against you and the civil aspect of keeping your driver's license. The only way to avoid the pitfalls built into the criminal justice system is to hire an attorney who can navigate you through the process and preserve all of your rights while resolving the matter to a favorable result for you. How To Keep Your License If you've been arrested for DUI or DWI, you only have 15 days from the date of arrest to request a hearing with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety. Otherwise your drivers license will be suspended for at least six (6) months. Call Stevenson Law Firm, PLLC today to protect your rights.
