DUI Defense

Hawaii DUI Defense and License Suspension Lawyer

A DUI arrest and conviction can severely affect your personal and professional life. You could lose your driver's license, perhaps your job, and your vehicle insurance rates would almost certainly rise appreciably. With so much at stake, you need the type of aggressive and knowledgeable representation we provide at the Law Offices of Scot Stuart Brower in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Drunk driving laws in the state of Hawaii present notable challenges to attorneys defending their clients. DUI defense attorney Scot Stuart Brower acknowledges the challenges, but commands considerable experience in handling DUI cases for his clients and in guiding them through the administrative and criminal process that attaches to DUI charges.

That process works as follows. Following your DUI arrest, you will receive a temporary 30-day license and an administrative hearing before the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) separate from any court proceeding that will be set. We will assist you with that important step. If you do not prevail at the DMV administrative hearing, you will have your license suspended for 30 days unless you can show that you need it to get to work. That could result in you receiving a conditional driver's license for 60 days while your case is working its way through the court system.

At the Law Offices of Scot Stuart Brower, we will also advocate for you throughout the entire criminal process. The best way to mount a DUI defense in that venue is to show that there was no probable cause related to the initial traffic stop. Even if you were speeding and a police officer pulled you over, a DUI cannot be charged unless the police officer can demonstrate that he had reasonable grounds to suspect that you had been drinking prior to the stop.
