You were foolish to refuse the breath test. Under the implied consent law, by refusing the breath test, your license WILL be revoked by Department of Licensing for a minimum of one year, even if you are not convicted of the DUI. The fact that you refused the DUI can also be used as evidence against you in court. At this point, I would tell you to stop messing around and get your self an attorney before you wreck your case even further.

Is there any statute of limitations for a DUI or can they wait 4 years to charge you with a DUI?

Brian Nelson Steele
Answered by attorney Brian Nelson Steele (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Steele Law Offices
There are limitations on the State's time to charge you with any crime including a DUI. However, if a warrant was issued in 2009, that would indicate that you were charged back in 2009. You may have some standing to contest this if you can show that the state was somehow negligent in its attempt to notify you of the charges. Otherwise, the fact that the warrant has been active for 3 1/2 years is not due to their misconduct and they can continue to pursue the charges.

What can I do to overturn the Department of Motor Vehicles’ decision in favor of my suspension?

If you were arrested for DUI, you suffered an automatic suspension of license. You appealed and lost if you couldn?t show no legal grounds or basis for arrest. Your remedy now is an expensive Writ proceeding to the appeals courts. To succeed it will require a showing the DMV hearing officer made a material mistake of fact or law that would otherwise have changed the ruling.
