Court and DMV are separate processes

Your DUI Created Two Cases

DMV hearing outcomes depend on the facts and administrative record. Preparation can include reviewing the notice, reports, test documentation, procedural issues, and other evidence relevant to the DMV process.

Missing the hearing-request deadline can affect your ability to contest the DMV administrative action before a suspension begins. Review your notice promptly because the DMV process is separate from the criminal court matter.

A lawyer is not required for a DMV hearing (it's administrative, not criminal). Many people use a DMV hearing specialist. We provide full preparation and guidance.

APS stands for Admin Per Se. It's a DMV hearing to determine if your license should be suspended. The hearing officer reviews the arrest report, BAC results, and evidence you present.

Restricted-license eligibility and requirements vary by situation. SR-22 insurance, IID installation, program enrollment, and other requirements may apply depending on the DMV action and current California rules.
