Contacting the DMV in your Hemet DUI Case

The most important and timely thing to remember if you are arrested for a Hemet DUI is that you have only ten calendar days from the date of arrest to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles.  The DMV can suspend your license based solely off of an arrest for driving under the influence.  You are allowed a DMV hearing to determine whether there was probable cause for the stop, whether you were driving with a BAC of .08% or higher if you were 21 or older and whether there was probable cause for the arrest.  You must request this hearing within ten calendar days or you will lose your right.  Our dedicated Hemet DUI Defense lawyers will contact the DMV on your behalf and conduct the hearing.  Call us now to find out more about the DMV hearing process.
