If you were charged with DWI and had your license suspended and need to get it restored, then you need to contact me, attorney Kerrisa Chelkowski, at my firm. I have been listed in Texas Super Lawyers® Rising Stars^SM Editions for 6 years running.

Throughout my years working in criminal defense I have been proud of my many successes, including helping my clients to restore a driver’s license after a DWI arrest or conviction. You may be able to keep your license, and you need to get the facts by meeting with me before your license is automatically suspended, which occurs in all DWI cases in San Antonio.

How Can You Get Your Driver’s License Back?

In the aftermath of a DWI arrest in San Antonio, TX, it is imperative that you act quickly. The police officer who pulled you over and arrested you for driving while intoxicated has the right to confiscate your license at the scene. Law enforcement will then notify the Department of Public Safety of your charges, but you have the ability to contest your charges and license suspension.

15 Days to Save Your License

You have only 15 days to save your license from being suspended. You must schedule an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing during this two week period. At this hearing, you will have the chance to fight for your driving privileges and potentially have your license reinstated. If you do not attend an ALR hearing, your license could be automatically suspended for 1-2 years, depending on your charges and any previous convictions.

Retaining an Aggressive DWI Defense Attorney Can Help

Since the ALR hearing can be the determining factor in whether or not you get to keep your license, it is highly advised that you hire an aggressive San Antonio license restoration attorney to protect your rights during this process. While you are allowed to drive with a temporary license for 40 days after your arrest, once that time is up it will be suspended if you do not get it reinstated at the hearing.

How I Can Help You

I could challenge the suspension of your license early in the process, by representing you at a hearing soon after your arrest. If your license has already been suspended, then I can help you file the necessary paperwork and reinstatement fee in order to get your license restored, and get you back behind the wheel legally.

Some are eligible to get an occupational driver’s license. This allows the individual to drive for work, school, or to get groceries and other household duties. I can advise you if you are eligible for this license, based upon exactly what occurred in your DWI case.
