However, vehicular homicide caused by drunk driving deals with a much more serious, willful disregard of the safety of others and is thus considered a felony offense. Since driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a leading cause of car crash deaths in Nevada, these types of cases are vigorously prosecuted and can lead to serious consequences.

What Happens After a DUI Arrest?

Typically, when you are arrested for driving under the influence in the Reno area, law enforcement automatically confiscates your license. In most cases, you will have a temporary permit that allows you to drive for 30 days and then your license will be suspended. To attempt the suspension from not taking place, you must schedule a hearing within 10 days of your arrest. If you choose to hire our firm, we will show up at the hearing and represent you.

There are a number of different factors that usually come into play in a DMV hearing, including:

There are other circumstances that can apply, such as if you refused a blood test or breath test at the time of the arrest. We would be happy to go over all of these details with you when we meet for a consultation.
