In this article, DUI Defense Lawyer discusses California DMV hearing: 10 Day Rule. Introduction to the California Law In California, if you are arrested for a DUI, the arresting officer has to confiscate your California driver’s license and mail it to the DMV. This “confiscation” starts the suspension process. If you are holding a driver’s license from another state and are a non-resident of California, a police officer does not have “jurisdiction” over your driver’s license and can not confiscate it.

Even if you are a non-resident, the police officer who arrested you […]

A person arrested for a DUI in Los Angeles or anywhere else in California has a right to a DMV hearing to show that the police stop or the arrest was not justified or that at the time of driving, the blood alcohol level was below .08% BAC. The “at the time of driving” is the most important part because the alcohol breath or blood test is usually done hours after the hearing and thus, they can be very different from the blood alcohol level if it was measured at the time of driving. Los Angeles DUI Attorney recommends that you contact a Los Angeles DUI lawyer to help you fight your DMV hearing or a DUI in Los Angeles. […]

Paris Hilton and Lindsey Logan were sentenced to jail not after pleading guilty but after being found in violation of probation. So, what is probation? Probation is a period during which a probationer has to abide by certain rules. In exchange for an easier sentence, the probationer can be ordered to: (1) do some jail, (2) do some community service, (3) do an alcohol education program and an alcohol deterrence class, (4) wear an alcohol monitor bracelet, (5) install an ignition interlock device in his or her car (6) ordered not to consume any alcohol (7) ordered to drive only with a valid driver’s […]
