DMV Hearings

Fremont DUI Attorney Helping Clients in Fremont, Union City, and Newark, California

If you have been arrested and charged for a DUI in the Fremont area, you will need to take fast action to avoid an automatic license suspension. We recommend that you contact our Fremont DUI lawyer at the Law Offices of Adam Allen Arant immediately after you have been charged. Adam can take action to request a DMV hearing to challenge your license suspension. As a Fremont DUI attorney, he has helped innumerable clients in all types of DUI cases and, with his skilled representation at your DMV hearing, can increase your chances of avoiding the loss of your driving privileges mandated by the DMV.

At the time of your DUI, your license will be confiscated by the arresting officer and you will be issued a Suspension Order and Temporary License document which will allow you to drive for 30 days until your DMV hearing is held. At this time, you will have 10 days to request a hearing with the DMV concerning your automatic license suspension. If you fail to make this request, you will forfeit your right to a hearing and your license will be automatically suspended by the DMV after the 30-day temporary license expires. The only matter that will be discussed at the hearing is why your license should not be suspended. Your DUI charges will be handled at another time under a separate court procedure.

With the right defense strategy and skillful representation of your Fremont DUI attorney at the hearing, you may avoid having your license suspended. This hearing may even help with your eventual DUI case in court through evidence presented by the arresting officer's report. Adam will know what evidence and paperwork should be presented at the hearing to give you the best chance of retaining your driving privileges.
