If the Officer took your driver’s license Matt can stop the suspension and get your license back!  Matthew has won hundreds of DMV hearings relating to DUI and other driving matters, the image above is a set aside Matthew obtained on behalf of even though the client had a .17 BAC level.  If you are facing a DMV suspension for a driving under the influence incident contact us immediately, the law only gives you 10 days to demand a hearing otherwise the suspension becomes final.   One of the more common issues that arise from drunk driving incidents in the Mojave Desert is the issue of the 3 hour presumption rule.  This rule requires that the DMV prove the driving occurred within three hours of the time of the breath or blood test in order to make the results admissible at the hearing.  The problem that occurs is that since the area is geographically vast and if an accident takes place it could take longer than 3 hours for CHP to arrive, make an arrest and thereafter test the person for BAC.  Our Firm has won many cases arguing that the Department has not proved the rule was complied with.
