Sacramento DMV Defense
Sacramento DMV Lawyer | Sacramento DMV Attorney
After you have been arrested for DUI, your driver's license will be taken by law enforcement. You will be issued a temporary driver's permit if you are eligible. Unless you request a hearing with the DMV within 10 days from the date of your arrest, your license will be suspended. The length of a license suspension for a first offense DUI is 4 or 6 months, depending on whether a restricted license is requested. Subsequent offenses result in lengthier suspensions. A DMV hearing is not a court hearing in your DUI criminal case. It is an administrative hearing where the DMV must prove the following three issues by a preponderance of the evidence: (1) the arresting officer had reasonable cause to believe you were driving a motor vehicle in violation the DUI laws; (2) you were lawfully arrested; and (3) your blood alcohol content was .08 percent or greater.
At the DMV hearing, Richard Allaye Chan Jr. will challenge the DMV's evidence against you and if appropriate, submit additional evidence challenging the DMV's case. With the assistance of a skilled attorney, you may be able to keep to your driver's license.
