You Can Challenge Prior DUI’s

Attorney Adam D. Stolte argued at the Kansas Court of Appeals that certain prior DUI's should not be counted when classifying a DUI. For many people across Kansas, this means a severe reduction of fines, jail time, and house arrest fees and custody.

Will I Lose My License if I get a DUI?

Your license will be automatically suspended unless you request an administrative hearing within 14 days of your arrest. Failure to meet the requirements will result in an automatic suspension.

Additionally, a 4th DUI arrest could result in the following driver's license penalties:

  • If you refused the tests, driving privileges will be suspended for one year and at the end of the suspension, driving privileges will be restricted to driving with an ignition interlock device.
  • If your BAC was between .08 and .15, you could lose your license for one year followed by a 3-year ignition interlock restriction.
  • If you BAC was over .15, you could lose your license for one year with a 4-year ignition interlock restriction.
  • The length of suspension may be shortened to 45 days for test failures and 90 days for test refusals.
