When San Diego police arrested me for DUI, they took over my driving license. How can I have it back?

In normal cases, an expert San Diego DUI attorney can help you in showing to DMV Officials there was no solid ground for your license suspension or annulment, and it can be returned to you. If you don’t call for an “admin per se” hearing with the DMV within 10 days after your drunk driving arrest, the DMV will give back your driving license at the ending of the suspension term ( i.e. four months if this is your first case), provided you give a 125-USD which is a re-issuance fee and show insurance documents. The reissue fee is 100-USD if you were under 21 when you got arrested for DUI according too San Diego’s Zero Tolerance Law for driving under the influence.
