Petition for Writ of Mandate Granted

The DMV made a very bad decision because they chose not to believe any of the witnesses we called to testify, at the Administrative Per Se hearing for a DUI charge. We filed a petition for writ of mandate to challenge the DMV decision. The Court found that the DMV hearing officer’s findings were not supported by the substantial evidence in the case. The Judge overturned the DMV suspension, and our client did not have his license suspended at all.
