What is a DMV Admin Per Se (APS) hearing and why should you request one after getting a DUI?
A DMV Admin Per Se is an administrative hearing heard and decided by a DMV hearing officer. The DMV automatically suspends your driver’s license after getting a DUI. Rather than allowing the automatic suspension, you can request a hearing.
This hearing allows you, or your attorney, to review discovery, question witnesses under penalty of perjury, and fight the suspension of your driver’s license.
Immediately after receiving a DUI, you should call the appropriate DMV driver safety office to request a DMV APS hearing, discovery in your case, and a stay of the driver’s license suspension until the outcome of the hearing.
Hiring an attorney in your area who is experienced with DUIs to be your advocate will help you get the best possible outcome for your situation.
