California DUI defense lawyer, John Murray explains how to save your drivers license at the DMV hearing. Battling the Department of Motor Vehicles can be a daunting and frustrating task. It helps to (1) know the complex set of California DMV laws, (2) understand how to cut the red tape at this huge and stubborn bureaucracy, and (3) enjoy long-standing relationships with key Department staff who have the discretion to get things done.

If you get arrested for DUI, DUI of Drugs or Vehicular Manslaughter, the DMV will seek to suspend your drivers license. Out of state drivers with a California DUI may lose their license to drive in their home state.  The Department calls these hearings "Administrative Per Se" or APS. If the driver got arrested for underage DUI or a chemical test refusal, the license suspension would last for at least one year.

It’s not uncommon for California residents to get arrested in the state of Nevada, especially when visiting Las Vegas or Laughlin. Our Nevada DUI defense attorneys practice throughout that state, and have become experts regarding Nevada DMV hearings in DUI cases. In Nevada, DUI arrests generally result in driver’s license suspensions. But as in California, success at the DMV hearing can sometimes prevent this consequence. If you receive a warning letter notifying you of a negligent operator suspension, contact us immediately. You must act quickly to secure a negligent operator hearing. Our California DMV hearing lawyers can represent you and many times prevent the drivers license suspension from being imposed.
