Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Re: DUI License Suspention in California

If you haven't already filed the DMV hearing request within ten days of arrest, you stand to lose the license automatically for up to a year. If you're already late, you'll have to take special steps to request the DMV set aside that 'default' and allow a hearing. Even at hearing, there is no guarantee of avoiding suspension of the license. Properly handled, with good facts and arguments, it might be possible to avoid suspension, or keep it to less than a year. Properly supported, you may also apply for a restricted license for work in some circumstances.

How your attorney handles negotiations on a 'deal' with the prosecutor and court will determine whether the court also imposes suspension, along with all the other potential penalties of jail and fines and alcohol schools.

Feel free to contact me if serious about getting the legal help you'll need in both these matters.

Re: DUI License Suspention in California

If you would like to keep your license you should contact the DMV immediatly, you only have ten days to schedule your Admin Per Se hearing, following the citation. You will be able to apply for an occupational license following the Administrative hearing. Contact us so we can explore reducing, and/or dismissing the charges against you or work on getting an acquittal. Check out our website: www.shefmanlaw.net, our phone number is listed on the site. If you are not in or near the SF Bay Area, contact an experienced DUI attorney in your area.

You must request a DMV hearing within 10 days or your arrest for DUI. Otherwise, the suspension will automatically be approved by the DMV. Check out our web site at www.beatingdui.com for more information. Call if you want representation.
