In this episode of Law Talk NH: Unfiltered, Attorney Brian J. Stone of Stone Law, P.L.L.C. breaks down one of the most critical and time-sensitive parts of any New Hampshire DUI case — the Administrative License Suspension (ALS) process.

Most people don’t realize that when they’re arrested for DUI, they aren’t just facing a criminal charge in court. They’re also facing an entirely separate administrative case with the New Hampshire DMV — and the clock starts ticking immediately. You get 30 days to request a hearing. Miss that deadline, and your right to challenge the suspension is gone forever.

In this episode, we cover:

• What Implied Consent really means in New Hampshire

• The difference between the roadside PBT and the official breath test at the station

• How refusing a test compares to taking the test and failing

• Why a refusal can lead to longer suspension periods

• How an ALS suspension interacts with your criminal case

• Why CDL drivers face significantly harsher consequences

• What happens if you have an out-of-state license

• Why you should always request the ALS hearing

• How skilled DUI defense attorneys use the ALS process to build strategic leverage
