Nebraska DUI Laws

The DUI law provides that the DMV can administratively suspend the driving privileges of anyone arrested for DUI. This will happen automatically following arrest for drunk driving, unless a DMV Hearing request is tendered within 10 days of arrest. This is just one of the reasons it is so important to contact qualified DUI defense lawyer, Brendan Kelly as soon as possible following a DUI arrest.

Mr. Kelly fought hard to keep RT’s driver’s license and keep him out of jail. The matter was bound over for trial at the preliminary hearing and Mr. Kelly continued to fight. The case was dismissed by the Court and RT was released and his bond was returned.
