Sacramento DUI Defense

There are two independent hearings that arise from a Sacramento DUI arrest. The first is a criminal proceeding through the Sacramento courts. This proceeding is initiated by the Sacramento arresting agency sending the police report taken the night of the DUI arrest to the District Attorney and asking for charges to be filed. A citation is issued upon release for a Sacramento DUI with an appearance date located at the bottom. This is a mandatory appearance. By this appearance, the District Attorney has likely filed charges and initiated a Sacramento DUI case against you.

Sacramento DMV Hearing

The second type of hearing is a civil hearing through the Department of Motor Vehicles. While a criminal court conviction of a Sacramento DUI can lead to a license suspension, the DMV can suspend your license based solely off of the arrest. This is an automatic license suspension and is completely independent of the criminal courts. You must contact the DMV within 10 days of your Sacramento DUI arrest to request an APS hearing. This will place a stay on the automatic suspension of your license. While the APS hearings are difficult to win, with the aid of an experienced Sacramento DUI attorney you can fight the DMV to preserve your driving privileges.
