1. The Arrest & Booking
You are arrested, your license is confiscated, and you are issued an affidavit.
2. The 30-Day Deadline
You have precisely 30 days to request an administrative hearing or enroll in IDAP to save your license.
3. Arraignment
Your first court appearance where formal charges are read and a plea is entered (usually "Not Guilty").
4. Discovery & Investigation
We obtain police reports, dash-cam, and body-cam video, and thoroughly investigate the state's evidence.
5. Negotiation & Motions
We file motions to suppress bad evidence and negotiate with the prosecutor for dismissal or reduction.
6. Hearing, Trial, or Plea
Your case is resolved either by trial, an evidentiary hearing, or an agreed plea deal (like a deferred sentence).
Steps vary by charge and court.
