Once convicted for DUI, you face DMV punishments in addition to court penalties.The DMV punishments are mandatory and independent of court penalties. That means that if the District Attorney decides not to bring charges against you in court, the DMV can still proceed with the punishments stated below.

A not guilty verdict in court is your only hope to escape any DMV punishment. That’s why, as your attorney, a not guilty verdict is all I’m working for. Below are the standard DMV license suspension punishments:

For Drivers with BAC over the legal limit:

First Offense	1 year or more
Second Offense	1 year or more
Third Offense or more	1 year or more

First Offense	1 year or more
Second Offense	2 year or more
Third Offense or more	3 year or more

If you have previously refused to take a breath, blood or urine test within the past seven years, then your California drivers license will be suspended for two years. This suspension occurs whether or not you are charged with drunk driving. What's more, you cannot challenge this suspension unless you request a DMV hearing within 10 days of the service of the affidavit.

Don’t wait! If you are facing a DMV punishment, you have only ten days to file for your hearing. Call DUI Terminator, Kenton Koszdin at 800-Kick DUI today!
