How Long Does a License Suspension Appeal Take in Ohio?

Answer:

After an administrative license suspension appeal is filed, the court schedules a hearing. The timing depends on the jurisdiction; the attorney can challenge grounds for testing, required notices, and procedural compliance, and may seek a temporary stay.

Testing above the legal limit or refusing a chemical test after an OVI arrest can trigger an administrative license suspension through the Ohio BMV. The defense may appeal that suspension and, where appropriate, request a stay.

After the appeal is entered, the court sets a hearing. The attorney may examine whether reasonable grounds supported testing, whether the required notifications were given, and whether the proper procedures were followed.

The video does not provide a fixed number of days for the appeal. An attorney familiar with license-suspension defense can explain the process in the court handling the case.

Dan Sabol is probably the best attorney I've ever worked with. Very professional and worked hard to get the best results possible. He will be the first person I call if I need a lawyer again. If you find yourself in a sticky situation make sure you give him a ring.
