I was arrested for a DWI (in San Mateo County CA) and the police officer reported me to the Department of Drivers Safety but did not give any reason for reporting me. I did not have a lapse of consciousness or medical issues, however i learned that my license was suspended when i went to renew it months later. The Dept. of Drivers Safety said this is very unusual to have no written reason because i have no specific condition for a DR to check. However they want me to get checked out before my hearing. I “won” my DMV hearing and i am able to get my restricted license at anytime (my arrest was in 2015 and the case was dragged out for over 2 years).
My question is “do i need legal counsel for my hearing at the Dept of Drivers Safety? I hope that it will be less complicated to get my license back due to the fact that there was no “condition” recorded and as far as i know, there was no legitimate reason to report me.
more info needed.
However, if I were you I would have a lawyer because if you lose you may not get another chance to contest this.
your lawyer might be able to get it dismissed for lack of due process.
