DMV Hearings

Riverside County, California, DMV Hearing Defense Lawyer

After being charged with DUI, you actually have two primary legal concerns. The first, of course, is starting an aggressive defense of your DUI criminal charges. For many people, the second concern of the DMV hearing is no less important. Aside from criminal court proceedings, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may suspend or revoke your driving privilege for driving under the influence of alcohol. In California, the legal amount is typically .08 percent for adults, and .01 percent for minors. If you are an adult with a commercial driver's license, the legal limit is reduced to .04 percent, whether you are driving on the job or in your own car. In the Coachella Valley and all over the state of California a person’s livelihood often depends on the ability to drive a car to and from work. Some jobs require driving as a condition of employment. Loss of the privilege to drive is a serious matter that can put your job at risk and endanger your ability to care for yourself and your family.
