Legal Advice for People who Refused a Breath Test
If you were charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and you refused a breath test, you could face drivers' license suspension or driver license revocation for up to a year or longer. If you live in Kansas, you could lose your license for life if you have had enough prior offenses. A good attorney can help contest your refusal and keep your license.
At The Traffic Lawyers of Kopecky Law, P.A., our commitment is to our clients. We strive to protect your rights. We want you to keep your freedom.
In Missouri, you only have 30 days to request an administrative hearing through the Circuit Court to contest the refusal and your drivers' license suspension. In Kansas, you only have 10 days. Find out how we can help you by contacting us today.

Hardship License
Drivers' license suspensions as a result of drunk driving charges can restrict daily activities. Without the option to drive, you may have difficulty getting to work, school or your children's daycare.
If your drivers' license was suspended, we may be able to help you apply for a hardship license after 90 days if it is your first offense. Multiple offenses are on a case-by-case basis. Hardship licenses allow you to get to work, school, appointments and treatment classes. People charged with DUI in Kansas typically do not have this option.
