Los Angeles DMV Hearing Attorney

DMV Hearings and Driver's License Suspension

It is widely known that a person will typically face criminal proceedings if they have been arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI). What is less known is that such a person also faces an additional legal proceeding, that of a DMV hearing. While a criminal case decides whether or not the individual is punished with penalties such as fines or jail time, a DMV hearing decides whether or not they will be able to retain their drivers' license. In our state, a person has 10 days from the date of their arrest to schedule their DMV hearing. In the event that they fail to do this, their license can be suspended for up to 4 months.

If you need to schedule a DMV hearing after your DUI arrest, contact a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney right away. An attorney can speak to the DMV employee overseeing the hearing on your behalf, and possibly secure a resolution that sees your driving privileges remaining untouched.
