Why do you want to contact them? And contacting them is never an admission nor adds to a suspicion of guilt if there is some issue you need to check into with regard to your license.

No it is not an admission of guilt. You need to request a hearing or else you will lose your license by default.

I certainly think that they will be contacting you, and that it would be unwise for you to contact them except after receiving counsel from the attorney of your choice. It is possible that you might make admissions which would be against your interest and the authorities will certainly use that to their advantage.

No. It will be what you're supposed to do to fight your case.

No. You must contact the Driver's License Division within 10 days of being cited for DUI or you will AUTOMATICALLY have your driver's license suspended. You should hire a lawyer to help you since you seem to be unsure of the law.

Not unless you admit guilt. It sounds like you just want to ask them a question. Carefully control what you say. Remember that if you want to avoid the automatic suspension that (in Wisconsin) goes with a prohibited Blood Alcohol content, you must write the Motor Vehicle people within ten days to request a review. Otherwise your license is automatically suspended for 6 months, starting 30 days after the issuance of the citation. Hiring a lawyer can help a lot. Good Luck.

No if you intend to request a hearing date you must do so within 10 business days. I also strongly suggest you retain an attorney to help with both the DMV hearing and the pending criminal charges.
