What is an ALR Hearing?
An ALR (Administrative License Revocation) hearing involves the process for suspending the license of someone charged with DWI. If you fail or refuse to take a blood or breath test after being arrested for driving while intoxicated, your license will automatically be suspended unless you request an ALR hearing within 15 days of your arrest. The ALR hearing will be held within the county you live in at a location determined by the State Office of Administrative Hearings, or you can agree to hold the hearing by teleconference. If the charge against you is proven in the hearing, your license will be suspended and you may be held in custody and/or be fined. You should have an attorney experienced with DWI charges to represent you in the hearing.
