I would like to inquire about an administrative appeal for drunk driving.

Hello. I will answer your inquiry regarding an administrative appeal for drunk driving.

An administrative appeal for drunk driving is an administrative appeal that can be pursued when you wish to raise an objection to a driver's license suspension disposition resulting from drunk driving.

An administrative appeal is a procedure for contesting a disposition by an administrative agency and is an important means of restoring one's rights and interests.

First, because an administrative appeal must be filed within 90 days from the date you become aware that the disposition was made, it is advisable to file it as soon as possible.

An administrative appeal can be pursued by the individual alone, but it requires an accurate analysis of the relevant laws and facts, proof of justifiable grounds such as livelihood difficulties, and a persuasive argument regarding the circumstances of the drunk driving.

In particular, in the case of a driver who relies on driving for their livelihood (for example, parcel delivery, designated driving, or a sales position), if you submit sufficient supporting materials such as income records, an employment confirmation, and the family-support situation, there is a possibility that the appeals commission will take them into account.

However, as social awareness regarding drunk driving has grown recently, the rate at which administrative appeals are upheld has been declining, so it appears that whether the administrative appeal is upheld will be determined according to the seriousness of the case.

Therefore, rather than pursuing an administrative appeal for drunk driving alone, it appears advisable to receive the help of a specialized attorney who has experience with many cases involving drunk driving and administrative appeals.

We recommend that you minimize the adverse disposition with the help of a specialized attorney.
