DUI Lawyer

You Have 10 Days to Take Action. Protect Your License!

Have you been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI)? In the state of California, you could only have up to 10 days to request a hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This hearing is known as an “administrative per se” hearing and could be your only chance at preventing a license suspension or revocation after a drunk driving-related arrest. At Second Chances Law Group, APC, we have nearly 20 years of experience constitutional rights of the accused.

Your License Hearing

Unlike most criminal offenses, a DUI will involve two types of processes: an administrative hearing and a criminal hearing. Whenever a motorist has been arrested for DUI, the DMV will automatically suspend his or her license for a mandatory 30-day period, unless the driver requests a hearing within 10 days of the arrest.

The DMV may also suspend the license for another 5 months during which the driver can only drive on a restricted basis (and, even then, the motorist must enroll in an alcohol program and fulfill certain other conditions). Our DUI attorney takes your charges seriously and fights hard to make sure your rights and interests are protected. If you or someone you love has been arrested for DUI, do not wait another moment to speak with us about your potential defense options.
