Reader’s Question:

HI. I have DUI conviction and I just want to know what a DMV “APS Hearing” is in San Francisco California?

Richard

Thank you for asking Richard.

In addition to court proceedings that involve your DUI defense, a California DUI arrest will also triggers the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) administrative action to suspend or revoked your privilege to operate a vehicle. The Administrative Per Se Hearing (APS) is your opportunity to challenge the DMV’s attempt to revoked or suspend your driver’s license. It is important that you contact your DUI lawyer within ten (10) days of your arrest to obtain a hearing for you with the DMV. Your California DUI lawyer will advise you of the issues to be addressed at the hearing and will assist you using all of his skill and experience as San Francisco DUI defense lawyer there to protect your privilege to operate a vehicle. Your lawyer may be able to present your case solely upon the written documentation in your case, but sometimes it may be necessary for witnesses to testify, including yourself, the arresting officer and our blood alcohol expert.
