If you do nothing, then yes. Hire a DUI attorney and let them get a DLD hearing. You MUST do this within 10 ACTUAL days or you will lose the license. Options exsist to re-instate it if you lose it. Get an attorney today.

Your attorney will ask all the pertinent questions. You should not try this on your own any more than you should remove your own appendix.

It depends on the policy of the department serving the warrant.
Can a Class A misdemeanor of simple assault on a peace officer be expunged?
Meaning if your Plea and Abeyance said 18 months can a judge dismiss your case and the charges after only 6 months if you have completed all other required terms?
