- 30-day suspension followed by ignition-interlock restriction on a first test failure; only 14 days after arrest to request the administrative hearing.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first after a Kansas DUI arrest?
Act on the license clock. The officer's DC-27 form starts an administrative suspension separate from the criminal case, and you have roughly 14 days to request a hearing to contest it. Talk to an attorney right away — that deadline does not wait for your court date.
Why is there no flat fee for a Kansas DUI?
A DUI is a criminal prosecution built on evidence — the stop, field sobriety tests, the Intoxilyzer procedure — and no honest quote is possible before an attorney reviews it. Start with a consultation and a licensed Kansas attorney will evaluate your case and explain your options first.
What does a first-offense Kansas DUI conviction involve?
It's a class B misdemeanor: 48 hours in custody or 100 hours of community service, a $750–$1,000 fine, an alcohol evaluation, and license sanctions with ignition interlock. Diversion is available in many jurisdictions for eligible first offenders — one of the key things a consultation explores.
Can a Kansas DUI be beaten or reduced?
Sometimes. Challenges to the stop's legality, the testing procedure, or the paperwork can lead to suppression, reduction, or dismissal — and diversion can keep eligible first offenders conviction-free. Which path fits depends entirely on your facts.
Will I lose my ability to drive completely?
Most first offenders move to an ignition-interlock-restricted license after the initial suspension rather than losing driving privileges outright. An attorney can map out the administrative timeline alongside the criminal defense.
