DMV Hearing Defense Lawyers in Orange County, California
A DMV hearing is an important part of an Orange County DUI charge. Separate from the criminal court process and criminal
DUI penalties, the DMV hearing is held regarding the suspension of an individual’s driver’s license. Also referred to as an administrative per se hearing or APS hearing, a DMV hearing is held at the regional Drivers Safety Office (DSO) of the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
