You Have Only 10 Days to Act to Keep Your License
If you have been arrested for DUI and fail to request a hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles within ten business days, your license will be suspended. The length of a license suspension varies depending on whether you are under 21, your blood alcohol content at the time of arrest, and any previous convictions. Generally a motorist charged with drunk driving with a BAC of .08% or higher will receive a one year license suspension. You can get your license returned in 120 days if you complete DUI school and pay a reinstatement fee.
As your attorney we will schedule a DMV hearing and then represent you. The process is complicated and having legal help increases the chances of keeping your driving privileges. We can also petition for a limited driving permit that would allow you to travel between home and work, school or stipulated places.
