Contacting the Department of Motor Vehicles following an arrest for a Sacramento DUI
You must contact the Driver’s Safety Branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days of your Sacramento DUI arrest. This is ten calendar days and counts weekends as part of the time. It is vital to contact the DMV to request an Administrative Per Se Hearing or your driving privileges will be automatically suspended following the expiration of the temporary license issued to you following your arrest for a Sacramento DUI.
Securing Finances for Court Costs and Attorney Fees following an arrest for a Sacramento DUI
A Sacramento DUI can be extremely costly and weigh heavy on any persons budget. It is important to secure finances to pay attorney fees and potential court costs ahead of time. After being arrested for a Sacramento DUI you should take into consideration the costs of a trial, as most often the retainer fee for an attorney includes all appearances prior to trial, and any increases in insurance, costs of alcohol programs and the financial impact of potentially not being able to drive for a significant period of time.
