FAQ about DUI arrests in Damascus, Oregon:

A frequently asked question we get at our firm is “should I request a DMV hearing?” In Oregon, there is what is called an “implied consent law”. This means that when you are driving a car in Oregon, you have implied that you will consent to a breath, blood, or urine test if asked by a police officer. Once receiving notice from the police, the DMV can suspend your license anywhere from 90 days to several years. The only way to avoid getting your license suspended is to request, and win, a DMV administrative hearing.

Requesting a DMV hearing has absolutely no downsides, however you do have a 10-day window to get your request in from the date of your citation. This is where Reynolds Defense Firm can help—we can request the DMV hearing for you and have your legal team appear on your behalf. Once you hire Reynolds Defense Firm, we will make certain you don’t miss that deadline and we will do everything in our power to make sure you get the best outcome for your case.

Sightseeing: Centennial Peace Candle

Even if you have lived in one place for most of your life, there is always new and unexpected history to learn. Do you know about the Centennial Peace Candle? It’s hard to miss as it stands at the entrance to Damascus town proper. First thought up in 1959 to celebrate Oregon’s centennial birthday, this monument was erected in 1962 and was thought to be so impressive that a replica was created for the World’s Fair in Seattle. While it doesn’t burn actual fire anymore, it was renovated in 2009 with fresh paint and a steel flame on top to commemorate the monument.
