License Suspension & DUI in Burbank

Burbank DUI Lawyer

When a Burbank driver is arrested for DUI (driving under the influence), he or she will be placed at risk of having his or her driver’s license suspended by the California DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). In accordance with any refused chemical test or a breath or blood test that shows a result of .08% or greater, the DMV will initiate proceedings to suspend or revoke the arrestee’s license. License suspension is automatic in these situations; the only way for a driver to avoid losing his or her license will be to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles to schedule an administrative hearing to challenge the suspension. The driver must request this hearing within 10 days of the date of receiving a “notice of suspension” in conjunction with a DUI arrest, or the right to challenge license suspension will be lost.

Involve a License Suspension Defense Attorney

The DMV may not suspend your license without cause. You must have been lawfully arrested, must have actually refused to submit to a test or must have actually failed the test. There are various ways that an attorney may be able to help you avoid driver’s license suspension, whether this is by challenging the alleged refusal, the manner in which you were arrested, or the test itself.
