When facing a DUI charge, there are several important actions that need to be addressed immediately. The first one is the DMV hearing. This hearing will determine the outcome of your driver's license. The California Department of Motor Vehicles will decide how long it should be suspended or revoked. The determination is based on the evidence gathered by law enforcement at the time of your arrest. You have only 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a DMV hearing. Failure to request that hearing within the first 10 days waives any right to contest the suspension, even if you are clearly not guilty. The standard license suspension on a first DUI charge is 4 months. However, a Kern County DUI attorney from the Law Offices of Richard O. Middlebrook can represent you at this hearing and there may be evidence brought forward to set aside the suspension of your license. This hearing is completely separate from your court case, but is an important part of the DUI defense process.
A thorough and effective DUI defense begins as soon as you have been arrested. This gives enough time to handle such things as the DMV hearing and the review of the evidence against you. There are often good options in your defense that will not be obvious except to an experienced DUI defense attorney. Call Kern County's leading DUI defense team at the Law Offices of Richard O.
