When one is charged with a DUI defense, California Law mandates that a DMV hearing is scheduled within 10 days of your Los Angeles DUI arrest in order to contest the suspension of your driver's license. An experienced DUI attorney, like Ronald Hedding, can provide more information about this process.

When you are first arrested for a Los Angeles DUI (driving under the influence) in California, the arresting officer will most likely confiscate your driver's license. There is a 10-day rule established by the California DMV stating that you must schedule a DMV hearing within the 10-day time period of your DUI defense to make an attempt to retrieve your driver's license back in your possession and to also, re-establish your driving privileges. DUI lawyer, Ronald Hedding, is very adamant about this law and has to consistently remind his clients, who have been charged with a Los Angeles DUI, to not forget to schedule the hearing. Failure to schedule the DMV hearing will result in an automatic suspension of your driving privileges for a minimum of 90 days.
