A conviction for refusal to test (chemical test refusal) can result in a one-year driver's license revocation. However, you have a right to a hearing. If you retain our law office, we will ask the following questions on your behalf:
- Did the police officer have a right to stop your vehicle?
- Did the officer have reasonable grounds to believe you were intoxicated?
