Law Offices of James E Sulick DUI FAQs

Have a DUI-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • 1. Do I work directly with Attorney James Sulick or an associate?

    Attorney James Sulick personally (not an associate) handles your case from beginning to end.

  • 2. Am I required to take a breathalyzer test when pulled over?

    The short answer is no. But the decision as to whether to take the test depends on various factors, i.e., was there an accident, was anyone injured, and is this your first offense? It is best to consult with Attorney Sulick, if possible, before making that decision. 

  • 3. How long do you lose your license for DUI in CT?

    In most cases, the mandatory 45-day driver's license suspension—during which you cannot drive—will begin 30 days after the arrest date. There is a possible one-time extension of your right to drive in most cases. The license suspension is based on the arrest information. It is also separate from any penalties or requirements that may be imposed as a result of the court case. An operating under the influence arrest results in both a court case and a motor vehicle matter; they are separate and distinct.

  • 4. What is a DMV hearing?

    The purpose of this hearing is to determine whether your Connecticut operator's license will be suspended. By pursuing this hearing, you can potentially avoid license suspension.

  • 5. Do I schedule the hearing or will Attorney James Sulick schedule the hearing?

    If you fail to schedule your motor vehicle hearing in a timely manner, your license suspension will be imposed. It is best for Attorney Sulick to schedule your hearing. Call him as soon as possible. He will schedule the hearing, acquire the evidence, such as reports and videos, and defend your rights. 

  • 6. Do I have to go to a DMV hearing?

    Although you are not required to attend a DMV hearing, it may be recommended that you do. Attorney James Sulick attends these hearings with his clients. Not all attorneys pursue this hearing. If you do not schedule a hearing, there will be an automatic suspension of your motor vehicle license. 

Attorney Sulick has over 40 years of experience defending clients in court for all types of criminal matters, including hundreds, if not thousands, of operating under the influence cases. He has tried some of these cases in court to not-guilty verdicts. Additionally, he has managed to avoid license suspensions at the motor vehicle department for hundreds of clients. He has the experience and knows the law and issues to achieve success in both court and the motor vehicle department.
