DMV Hearings & License Suspensions

A DUI arrest triggers an immediate Administrative Per Se (APS) license suspension by the California DMV – separate from your criminal case.

You Only Have 10 Days to Request a Hearing

If you do not request a DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest, your license will be automatically suspended. We file the request immediately and represent you at the hearing in San Bernardino or Palm Springs.

What the DMV Must Prove at Your APS Hearing

• The officer had reasonable cause to stop you
• You were lawfully arrested
• You were driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher (or refused a chemical test)
