California DUI arrests (also known as DWI) trigger two separate cases:
the DMV action, where a person's driving privileges
hang in the balance, and the court case, where a
variety of DUI punishment is available. For anyone
charged with drunk driving in California, it is vital
to note that persons arrested for DUI have only
10 days from the date of arrest to
request a hearing with
the DMV. If someone arrested for drunk driving does
not request the hearing on time, his or her license
will be suspended, automatically, on the 30th day
following the arrest. It is critical for anyone
charged with a California DUI or other drunk driving
offense to obtain the
services of a California DUI
lawyer that understands the relationship between the
court and
DMV.
