You Only Have 10 Days to Request A DMV Hearing Regarding Your Driver's License Suspension
In order to protect your driving privileges, you must act quickly. The Law Office of Johnson & Johnson represents people facing driver's license suspension in the East Bay area.
California was one of the first states in the country to enact an on-the-spot license suspension law. Under the Administrative Per Se, or APS, license suspension law, your license will be confiscated at the time of your arrest and could result in suspension or revocation. You are afforded the opportunity to be heard at a DMV hearing. To exercise this right, you must file a request with the DMV within ten days of your arrest.
Some of the benefits of a hearing are as follows:
- Your license suspension will be stayed pending the hearing results
- You may be able to obtain a restricted license
- You will have a chance to interview the arresting officer directly
- You may be able to avoid the license suspension entirely
It is important to retain an attorney who can represent you during the hearing. Attorney Peter Johnson has successfully represented countless people like you seeking to save their driver's license.
Common issues at a DMV hearing:
- Did the police possess reasonable suspicion that you were driving under the influence?
- Was the DUI arrest lawfully conducted?
- Did you have a BAC of .08 or more?
- If you refused to take a BAC test, were you informed that your driving privileges may be suspended or revoked?
- Was the test in fact refused by you after a police officer request?
The DMV hearing process is a highly technical and complicated process. Unless you are familiar with the procedures, you may miss a vital step. In order to take all the steps available to protect your driving privileges, call attorney Peter Johnson of the Law Office of Johnson & Johnson, or fill out and submit the attached form.
