After your arrest, you were given a pink sheet.

That document is now your temporary driver’s license.

You have 7 days to request a hearing with Driver Control.

​

Why this matters:

• Helps you stay legally on the road

• Allows you to install an ignition interlock device

• Protects your ability to get your license back

Miss this deadline, and your options become limited.

If you’re caught driving on a suspended license during a DWI period, Arkansas law requires:

​

• Mandatory 10 Days in Jail

This is not a risk worth taking.

We help you take the right steps early—so you can avoid unnecessary penalties.

You will be given an arraignment date.

​

If you don’t show up:

• A warrant will be issued for your arrest

• Your defense becomes significantly harder

Ignoring the situation will only make it worse. Acting now gives you control.

A DWI is a criminal charge.

​

Law enforcement is trained in:

​

• Standardized field sobriety testing

• Proper arrest procedures

• Evidence collection under federal guidelines

That means your case is being built carefully—
and it requires a serious legal defense.

DWI cases typically don’t get dismissed.

​

Your case will likely result in:

​

• A trial, or

• A plea agreement

The outcome depends heavily on your legal representation.

When choosing a lawyer, experience matters.

​

• Knows Arkansas DWI laws inside and out
