DUI DMV Hearing Attorneys

DUI DMV Hearing Attorney in San Bernardino

After an arrest for drunk driving in San Bernardino or Riverside, there are two separate portions of the process that need to be addressed. There is the criminal portion, which will address your guilt or innocence, and there is the administrative portion that will address your license suspension. Your driving privileges can be suspended automatically by the state of California, regardless of the outcome of your criminal case.

It is important to request an administrative hearing within 15 days of your DUI arrest, or your driver’s license will be automatically suspended. Therefore, it is important to act quickly by talking with an experienced lawyer. The San Bernardino & Riverside law firm of Greenberg, Greenberg & Kenyon can help you challenge the suspension of your driver’s license and provide effective DUI defense representation.

DUI DMV Hearing Attorney in San Bernardino & Riverside

An administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing is entirely separate from a DUI hearing and stems from one of two things:

BAC of .08 or higher: If you fail the breath test, blood test or other chemical test by producing a reading of .08 blood alcohol content (BAC) or higher, your license will automatically be suspended for 90 days. This suspension can be challenged only through an administrative license revocation hearing.
Breath test refusal: If you are arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and refuse to submit to a breath test, blood test or any other chemical test at the police station, you are in violation of California’s implied consent laws and will face an automatic driver’s license revocation for one year.

While challenging the administrative suspension of a driver’s license is difficult, it is still in your best interest to have an experienced lawyer attend your DMV hearing. Not only will a lawyer give you a better chance of retaining your driving privileges, but your lawyer can use information from this hearing to build a stronger case for the criminal portion of the San Bernardino & Riverside DUI proceedings.
