The Clock’s Ticking: First Steps After a DUI Arrest in Oklahoma

A DUI arrest in Oklahoma feels like chaos—handcuffs, booking, a temporary permit shoved in your hand. But the real countdown starts now: you’ve got 15 days to fight for your license. Here’s how to take control.

First, stay quiet. Give your name and ID, but skip the chit-chat about drinks—say, “I need my attorney.” Second, call a DUI lawyer immediately. Those 15 days are your window to request a Department of Public Safety (DPS) hearing to stop a 180-day suspension. Miss it, and you’re stuck. Third, check your charges: Is it a standard DUI (0.08% BAC), an aggravated DUI (0.15%+), or a felony (prior offenses)? Each needs a tailored defense.

A lawyer can question the stop’s legality or the breathalyzer’s accuracy. Time’s not on your side—so don’t wait.
