Department of Motor Vehicle Matters
The DMV is guided by the rules located in the California Vehicle Code and are rigorously followed. The DMV determines whether one can get their license restricted, revoked, suspended or placed on probation. There are different set of rules that apply to people facing the various hearings. There are hearings pertaining to those facing a lack of consciousness, who lack skill or knowledge, who have too many points and who face an administrative per se hearing for DUI allegations.
Having represented several hundred people in DMV administrative hearings, one lesson cannot be ignored. DMV hearings do not have the level of sophistication that a criminal case possesses. Many times police officers do not appear and sometimes are asked to appear and still do not. Because the DMV must prove a “paper” case they must follow many of the rules of law. This is where technical arguments become important and experience in previously knowing whether such technical arguments will be won or else ignored. If one wins any of these types of hearings, they at the very least, are still privileged to be able to drive again. If one loses, the suspension may be a specific period of time lasting 4 months, 6 months, a year or more or indefinitely. In addition, there are complicated appeal rights if you lose on whether you want to send off a Departmental Review appeal to Sacramento or appealing your case to the courts by a Writ.
Do not be fooled into appearing on your own behalf and trying to talk your way out of a suspension. Hire an attorney who can maximize your chances to win.
