If you are facing a charge for driving under the influence in Kern County there are two things you need to know right now. First, the DMV must be contacted immediately in order to save your driving privileges. California law dictates that a person’s license is to be suspended upon arrest for anyone charged with VC23152. In order to stop this suspension a hearing must be demanded within 10 calendar days. Second, a DWI is not like a traffic ticket, you won’t get a courtesy notice in the mail, your Court date is the date you agreed to appear on the citation or release document.
If the arrest took place in California City the Court would be Mojave Superior Court in eastern Kern County. Also, a detention that occurs at the gate of Edwards Air Force Base also gets sent to the same Court for hearing.

In another recent case Matt was hired by a client who was arrested by the CHP on Interstate 58 after he was observed weaving and holding a bottle of alcohol out of the driver side window.
