Contacting the DMV in your Palm Springs DUI Case
If you have recently been arrested for a DUI in Palm Springs by either the Palm Springs Police or the California Highway Patrol, you have only 10 days to contact the DMV to request a hearing on the suspension of your license. During the DMV hearing, only certain issues will be looked at such as a BAC of .0.8% and whether there was probably cause for the initial stop. It is imperative that you contact the DMV or you will be facing a prolonged license suspension.
Palm Springs Criminal Court Case
In addition to the DMV process, as a DUI offender, you will have to appear at the criminal courts unless you retain counsel. Once you are released from your arrest, your license will be confiscated and you will be give a yellow citation which will include a date and location of the court which you must appear at. During this arraignment, you will be formally charged; if you retain our Palm Springs DUI Attorneys, we will appear on all court dates on your behalf and help negotiate your case for a more favorable outcome. If, however, you have received a fourth or subsequent DUI, both you and your attorney will need to appear in court.
