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 Pomona 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.  

Failure to Act = Automatic License Suspension

If you fail to request an APS hearing, your driver's license will automatically be suspended upon expiration of the temporary license.  How long the license remains suspended will depend on whether or not you have prior DUI offenses and how many.  An experienced Pomona DUI Lawyer should be contacted as soon as possible following a DUI arrest to ensure that your driving privilege is protected.
