I've just been arrested for DUI. What happens now?
Sound advice is to first
find an experienced DUI Attorney to represent you. Your DUI lawyer may be able to
make court appearances for you with out you having to be present.
* The officer is required by law to immediately forward a copy of the
completed notice of suspension or revocation form and any driver
license taken into possession, with a sworn report to the DMV. The DMV
automatically conducts an administrative review that includes an
examination of the officer's report, the suspension or revocation
order, and any test results. If the suspension or revocation is upheld
during the administrative review, you may request a hearing to contest
the suspension or revocation.
* You (or your
attorney) have the right to request a hearing from the
DMV within 10 days of receipt of the suspension or revocation order. If
the review shows there is no basis for the suspension or revocation,
the action will be set aside. You will be notified by the DMV in
writing only if the suspension or revocation is set aside following the
administrative review.
