Arizona MVD Hearings
Retain a Qualified Scottsdale DUI Lawyer
If you are stopped by police and determined to have a blood alcohol content of 0.08 you will be arrested for DUI and your license will be suspended for a period of 90 days. Once arrested, you must request a hearing with the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) in order to contest a license suspension. Having a Scottsdale DUI attorney by your side during this hearing can be of great benefit to you and increase your chances of success.
You have 15 days from your arrest to request a hearing through the MVD to keep your driver's license. You need to make sure you can navigate MVD issues and submit request for hearing is filed correctly and on time. This is when having a legal advocate from the Law Offices of Randall J. Craig as representation can go a long way, especially with your driving privileges on the line.
What happens during a hearing?
If an administrative law judge receives your request and believes the "scope of the hearing" has been met, they can dismiss your suspension.
If you lost your license due to DUI, the scope of the hearing will include a determining of:
- Whether the officer had reasonable grounds for stopping you
- If you were arrested for DUI or underage DUI
- You were found to have a blood alcohol content to 0.08 or greater
- The manner of testing was valid and reliable
If your license was suspended because you refused a chemical test, it will be used to determine:
- Whether the officer had grounds for stopping you
- If you were placed under arrest for DUI justly
- If you refused or failed to submit to a test as requested
- Whether you were made aware of the consequences of a refusal

I paid him $5,000 to do quick trial after firing my old lawyer. It only took him 3 days to get ready. We won and he sent me $1,500 back telling me since it only took him 3 days, the balance of the retainer was owed me. Wow. Never heard of that before! Very refreshing! We won too! I knew we would. Good guy, good lawyer.- Former Client

Out of trying about 6 lawyers, Randall was probably my favorite one. He helped me out with my claim and I was able to win it. You keep going on your career, because you are doing a wonderful job! Keep up the good work.- Former Client

This man has a "Heart of Gold" he was very honest and kind. He did everything he told me he would, the only BAD thing I can say is his investigator Judd Slivka is the worst, did not do his job right and did not call me as promised by Randy. If Randy was to get a "real" investigator he would really do much better. Randy is the best I have ever seen yet! As for phone calls he was there for me 8 out of 10 times, he was at all of our appointments, he is very professional and I would recommend him to anyone! Randy can get anything done that he puts his heart to! He has a nice smile, honest and is very supportive, a rare find in a lawyer! I wish the best to you Randy & hope to see you have a huge law firm in the future, you deserve it!- Former Client

I was facing 50+ years in prison for false charges. Randy believed in me. My public defender tried to convince me that Jail and years of intense probation were my only option. I then hired Randy. 3 months later my case was dismissed and I am now at home with my family and get to watch my son grow up. His assistant Jennifer Prescott is amazing and between the two of them I was always informed. And they always kept me calm. Randy saved my life and saved my families life as well. Thank you Randy. I have a "checkered past" to say the least and have dealt with over 10 attorneys in my life. Randy is head and shoulders above the rest! THANK YOU RANDY!!- Marcus P.
