California DUI Lawyer – DMV Hearing Overview
One of the first steps you must do after being arrested for a DUI in California is to schedule a DMV hearing. Without a DMV hearing, the DMV will automatically suspend your license. At the Law Offices of Nam Q. Doan, I can represent you and defend your rights in this administrative hearing. I will call the DMV on your behalf so you don’t have to deal with the ring around they often put you through.
After being arrested for a DUI, you have 10 days from the date of the arrest to schedule this hearing. The DMV will automatically suspend your license if you do not schedule this hearing. A successful defense will result in your license to be fully reinstated.
The DMV hearing generally deals with three issues:
- Did the police officer have reasonable cause to believe you were driving under the influence of alcohol?
- Did the police officer lawfully place you under arrest?
- Were you driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher?
If the DMV hearing is conducted and it is determined that your license will be suspended, you will have to serve 30 days of that suspension before you can get a restricted license to drive to work/school/etc.
