An experienced Las Vegas DUI attorney specializing in DUI defense has a fairly good chance of vacating your driver's license suspension and getting your driving privileges reinstated. However, he can do nothing if a request has not been forwarded to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles within seven (7) days of the arrest. The formal request should be made, if at all possible, by a lawyer. If you have not yet retained an attorney, you should contact the DMV yourself and make the request:
Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles
555 Wright Way
Carson City, NV 89711
(775) 684-4368
(877) 368-7828
You will need to provide the following information:
You may be required to submit a formal "Hearing Request" form, and should do so in any event to be safe. This form can be downloaded (PDF) here: Hearing Request Form
The hearing will be conducted at the DMV's Office of Administrative Hearings:
DMV Office of Administrative Hearings
2701 E. Sahara Avenue
Las Vegas, Nevada
(702) 486-4940
LAS VEGAS DUI: A DRUNK DRIVING LAW GUIDE is offered as a counterweight to the political pressures of extremist groups such as MADD designed to win the passage of unfair laws and penalties, further erode our constitutional rights and eventually gain the return of Prohibition. The National Motorists Association presents its views on such controversial DUI issues as overly harsh criminal penalties, unconstitutional roadblocks and automatic license suspensions. Responsibility in DUI Laws, Inc., offers similar arguments aimed at reforming harsh and misdirected drunk driving laws.
