    DUI Arrest in California: What to Do Next

    The first 72 hours after a California DUI arrest are critical.

    California DUI cases have two parallel tracks: the criminal case and the DMV administrative case. Both have tight deadlines.

    Post bail

    Most first-offense DUI bail is $5,000–$10,000 — posted with a $500–$1,000 premium. Jake Hernandez Bail Bonds posts DUI bonds 24/7.

    Request the DMV hearing within 10 days

    You have 10 calendar days from the arrest to request a hearing to fight the automatic license suspension. Miss it and the suspension is automatic.

    Retain a DUI attorney

    California DUI law has specialized defenses — Title 17 violations, rising BAC, mouth alcohol, etc. Specialized counsel matters.
