Top-ranked Los Angeles DUI defense lawyers who provide aggressive legal representation.
Most individuals arrested for DUI in Los Angeles County are released on a promise to appear and given a citation with a date to appear in court. After the DUI arrest, you will be issued a temporary drivers license that is only valid for 30 days. On some occasions, a bail may be imposed and you will have to post bail or remain in custody until you go before a judge. If you bail out, the bail bond agency will provide paperwork that orders you appear in court on a specific date. It’s important to understand there are two separate proceedings that are triggered after a DUI arrest; the criminal prosecution for driving under the influence and the DMV administrative action. You must request a DMV hearing within 10 days after the arrest, otherwise your drivers license will be suspended after 30 days. A Los Angeles DUI attorney from our law firm will schedule and conduct the DMV hearing on your behalf.
