What does your insurance company know about you

California law separates DUI and Felony DUI. A felony DUI usually involves a serious injury. In either case, a court date may be scheduled months after your arrest. However, this does not mean that there are not other proceedings that threaten your ability to continue driving. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) begins the process to suspend your license immediately. These suspension proceedings typically seek to prohibit you from driving from between four months and two years. State law requires that you contact the DMV within 10 days of your arrest to schedule an administrative hearing to contest your suspension and extend your driving privileges. This 10-day period includes weekends and holidays. We can help with this proceeding and we have a hotline to the DMV and can schedule these hearings. Not requesting a hearing within the 10-day period will result in the suspension of your driver's license.

If your license was taken at the time of your arrest, you were issued a temporary license (an administrative per se license). Many of your rights and responsibilities are obtained in this document. The DMV and the courts operate and are guided by different sets of rules and laws. It is important that you are aware of and represented in both proceedings by a lawyer.

If you have missed this 10-day deadline, there are still things that we can do to remove or minimize your license suspension. The key is to contact us immediately.
