THE DMV AND DUI

A person who is arrested for a DUI generally has their license to drive seized by the arresting officer. Upon seizure, a notice will be generally given to the driver notifying them that they have ten (10) calendar days to request an APS hearing from the DMV.  If that hearing is not requested within that time period, then the driving privilege will generally be revoked/suspended.  It is critical that you hire an attorney to help you navigate the maze of DMV regulations and deadlines.  Sometimes the worst thing you can do in a criminal case is represent yourself or have an attorney appointed who is simply too busy to help you.
