Costa Mesa DUI Attorney & Costa Mesa DUI Lawyer Resources

If you have been arrested for DUI in the City of Costa Mesa, you will have to deal with both the Orange County criminal courts  (Harbor Justice Center) and the DMV. Since you were arrested for a Costa Mesa DUI, you were most likely arrested by the Costa Mesa Police Department.  If you're loved one was arrested by Costa Mesa Police Department and you need to contact them immediately please find the police department address at 99 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 and you reach them by telephone at (714) 754-5367.  You may have also been arrested by either the Orange County Sheriff's Department or the California Highway Patrol.

Irrespective of whether or not you have a California driver's license, the DMV Admin Per Se hearing is crucial in a DUI case because of the opportunity it affords your attorney to subpoena witnesses and evidence to the hearing to challenge the merits of a DUI arrest. The most important aspect of a DUI arrest is the fact that you have 10 CALENDAR, not court or business days, to have your attorney contact DMV to schedule a hearing and stop the proposed suspension of your driving privilege in California.  At the DMV Admin Per Se Hearing we will have an opportunity, should we choose, to cross examine the officers involved in your arrest, any percipient witnesses and possibly a forensic toxicologist. 

DO NOT SCHEDULE THE DMV HEARING YOURSELF !!  The main reason is that it may not be convenient to our schedule nor any of the anticipated witnesses who may need to be subpoenaed.  Let our office handle the contacting of DMV as well as the scheduling of the hearing.  When we request a hearing we do so via facsimile with a transmission confirmation as well as via certified mail to insure DMV receives our hearing request.
