California DMV Action After a Visalia DUI Arrest

A DUI arrest can trigger two separate matters: a criminal court case and California DMV action affecting your driving privilege. Administrative Per Se is the DMV’s administrative process for reviewing whether a driver’s license suspension or revocation should take effect after an arrest. It is separate from the criminal allegations and penalties considered by the court.

The DMV generally gives a person 10 days after receiving a suspension or revocation order to request a DMV hearing. That hearing addresses defined administrative questions about the arrest, chemical testing, and driving privilege. A criminal case in Visalia may proceed through the Tulare County Superior Court, Visalia Division, while the DMV matter follows its own process.

DUI Evidence & Circumstances We Review

The facts of an arrest shape the questions that need review when we assess the allegations and available defense decisions.

Common circumstances that can affect a DUI matter include:

• First Allegation Or Repeat DUI: Prior allegations can change the potential licensing and court considerations.
• Chemical Testing Or Refusal: Blood, breath, or other testing can raise questions about what officers requested, how a test was administered, and how results were documented.
• Collision Or Alleged Injury: These cases may require review of driving evidence, impairment evidence, causation, and related charges.
• Drug-Related Allegations: Drug-related and alcohol-related allegations can involve different evidence and testing questions.

Time plays a critical role in DUI cases. It is important to reach us as soon as possible following your arrest as you may have only days in which to contest the suspension or revocation of your license.
