Arrested for DUI in Delaware? 15 days to ask for the hearing.
Counted from the day you got the notice. If that was today, the last day is Saturday, October 24. Miss it and the suspension starts on its own (DMV rule).
The two clocks: court and DMV
Your Delaware DUI arrest opened a criminal case and a separate license case with the DMV. If that time runs out, your license can be suspended before you ever see a judge.
The administrative revocation figure is not a court sentence or a refusal penalty. (DMV rule)
A first offense in Delaware
For administrative revocation, the code treats an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more as conclusive evidence of the DUI violation (Delaware law).
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| License (court) | The cited DUI administrative-revocation provision lists three months for a first-time offender; refusal cases are separate |
| Agency steps | A timely hearing request postpones revocation until the hearing officer issues an adverse final decision |
The judge picks a number inside each range. So ask where cases like yours land in Delaware (Delaware penalty rules).
Second and later offenses
A prior raises the penalty in every state, and Delaware is no exception. Tell the lawyer about any earlier case on the first call. Second offense DUI rules lists the states with published ranges.
Add-on fines and the newest change
Interlock orders and add-on fines in Delaware depend on the charge and the BAC. Ask the lawyer which ones apply to yours.
