Law Offices of David M. Boertje 

Drunk driving conviction in California, which is often referred to as driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI), affects a person in a number of different ways including:  

• Alcohol assessment and treatment
• Community service and probation
• Felony or misdemeanor criminal record
• Fines and court costs
• Increased insurance rates
• Jail time or prison sentence
• Suspension or revocation of driver license
• Vehicle immobilization or forfeiture

DMV License Suspension

In almost every DUI case a driver in California has two cases to contend with. A DUI arrest results in both a criminal charge and a civil proceeding against the arrested driver’s driving privilege, which is referred to as a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) license suspension. A DMV license suspension is initiated by the State against an arrested driver when he or she refuses to submit to breath or blood testing or fails a breath or blood test. Issues involved in a DMV license suspension hearing include the following:

• Whether there was reasonable suspicion to stop the driver for drunk driving
• Whether there was probable cause to arrest the driver for drunk driving
• Whether law enforcement provided the California implied consent warnings
• Whether the driver refused to submit to a blood or breath test
• Whether the driver failed a breath or blood test
