10 Days to Request DMV Hearing 

DUI is a criminal offense, not to be mistaken with a traffic violation such as speeding or running a red light.  If you were arrested on suspicion of Driving Under the Influence of alcohol, the Los Angeles Police Department or other law enforcement officers likely confiscated your driver's license and issued a pink "temporary" license that is good for 30 days.  However, you only have 10 days from the arrest date to request a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Administrative Per Se (APS) hearing from the DMV Driver Safety Office.  If you do not request an APS hearing within 10 days, your driver's license will be suspended automatically 30 days from the incident date.  How long the license remains suspended will depend on whether or not you have prior DUI offenses and whether you refused to submit to a chemical test following your DUI arrest.  An experienced Century City DUI Lawyer should be contacted as soon as possible following a DUI arrest to ensure that your driving privilege is protected.  

Criminal Charges Filed

If you are arrested for DUI in Century City, a criminal complaint will be filed against you unless the prosecutor declines to file the case due to insufficient evidence.  A DUI conviction can have a devastating impact on a person's life, adversely affecting employment, finances, child custody agreements, and freedom.  Misdemeanor and felony Century City DUI cases are usually filed at the Airport Courthouse.  Do not go to Court alone and represent yourself.  The Judge at your DUI arraignment can set bail and you could be taken into custody.  See our recent DUI Blog article for more about what happens after your DUI arrest and at the DUI arraignment.
