Albuquerque DWI Defense Attorney
When you have been charged with DWI in New Mexico, you have a limited amount of time to take action to protect your best interests. Two key, time-sensitive components of DWI cases include:
Protecting your Driving Privileges
You have only 10 days from the date of your arrest to request an MVD hearing. This request must be in writing and include a nominal service fee. Failure to request a hearing means your license will automatically be revoked for 1 year beginning 20 days after your arrest.
Invoking your Right to Excuse your First Judicial Assignment
You have only 10 days from the date of your arraignment for your DWI charge to excuse the first judge assigned to your case. Excusing a judge known for strict and severe punishment can have a positive effect on the outcome of the case.
