Kahn & Ifversen Attorneys, L.L.P.

Charged with a DUI, reckless driving, hit and run or other traffic crimes? Let's talk. If you failed or refused a breath test, the DMV will automatically suspend your driver's license 30 days from a DUII arrest unless you or your attorney stops them.

Try to Stop the Suspension

Request a DMV hearing right away, otherwise your license will be suspended. The purpose of the hearing includes:

• The legality of the stop
• The validity of your arrest, field sobriety tests, breath testing, and other procedures
• Taking a default against the DMV, which can also stop the suspension 

Begin Preparing

DMV must receive the hearing request within 10 days of your arrest. Then a hearing can be scheduled to try and prevent the suspension - even if you refused a breath test.

We'll Request the Hearing for You 

If you call us within 10 days of your arrest, we can request a hearing for you as a personal courtesy. If more than 10 days have passed, call us anyway. There's still lots to do.

Do You Want the Good News or the Bad News?

You may be eligible for diversion, which can get your case dismissed. Or you may be facing up to a year in jail with a one-year or three-year license suspension. Or you might be facing a lifetime license suspension, depending on your driving record, or even a felony DUII that requires a 13 month prison sentence. Because the drinking and driving laws in Oregon are so punishment oriented, we prepare your case from two vantage points: win the case and damage control.

If we have learned anything in nearly 17 years of DUII defense, it's that these cases are winnable. We are sick of hearing of cases where the first thing the attorney does is advise a client to plead guilty. That is the hallmark of an inexperienced lawyer who'a afraid to learn how to win a DUII at trial. Truly these are tough cases, but sometimes you just gotta fight. Take the first step and call us now.

The initial telephone consultation is always free.
