Can the California DMV suspend my license with no court conviction or charges filed?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
A DUI arrest triggers an automatic license suspension. When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at tne scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does.

DUI- How long afterward can you be charged?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
A 3rd dui must be charged within a year.? I assume the CHP or other police who investigated your case would have referred your case for prosecution within the year.? Only a felony dui can be filed up to 3 years from its commission. A felony? is the 4th dui or an accident which causes injury to a person other than the drive CVC 23153(a).

Was I found guilty of DUI by default, since I failed to appear in court?

You begin by hiring an attorney to represent you. If you missed your court date and did not notify your attorney (assuming you had one) of your current address, most likely a bench warrant was issued for your failing to appear in court. Hire an attorney immediately to help you get this resolved.
