If you are from out of state and are charged with DUI, you need to be aware of the urgency for action. When you were stopped, you were given a notice of suspension of your driving privileges in the state after 30 days. You were also advised that you need to appeal to the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days of the arrest or the suspension will go into effect automatically.
You may be thinking that you will be back home by that time so it will make no difference; however, the California DMV will be communicating the suspension to your home DMV and your home DMV is very likely to suspend your license there. You will have no means of defending against the charge in the home state because it will simply accept the decision of the DMV here. Your best course of action is to contact an experienced lawyer who can aggressively defend you against the charge.
