  • At the DMV's administrative per se (APS) hearing, as your DMV lawyer we will fight to save your driver's license. As you know, life in Orange County, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, or anywhere else in Southern California can be difficult without a license to drive. Getting to work, school, medical appointments, church, or recovery meetings almost always requires a driver's license.
  • The DUI defense attorneys at our DUI defense law firm have handled DMV license suspension hearings for many years. We have had excellent success at representing clients and eliminating the driver's license suspension.
  • Whatever you do about the DMV hearing, do not ever drive with a suspended license. California law now says that in addition to being arrested for driving with a suspended license, the car you are driving can be impounded and even sold.
  • The APS hearing at the DMV is the first step to resolving all the issues surrounding your DUI arrest. Your DUI DMV lawyer can use the DMV hearing to learn more about the drunk driving case you will face in the criminal court.
  • You do not have to attend the DMV hearing. Your DUI DMV lawyer can make the request for the DMV hearing and represent you at the driver license suspension hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
I did not give police permission to search my vehicle. Is this a violation of my rights and an illegal search?
In most cases no. Police need probable cause to suspect that the vehicle contains contraband or instrumentalities of a crime. There is a lesser expectation of privacy in vehicles and searches incident to an arrest are also allowed. Officers can search the entire passenger cabin, and in some cases may even open any containers and packages if there is probable cause that it may contain contraband. Proper probable cause is always a key issue for an attorney to explore.
