DMV Hearing Lawyer After a Los Angeles DUI

A Los Angeles DUI arrest triggers an administrative DMV process separate from criminal court. You typically have 10 days to request a hearing or the DMV can suspend your driving privilege.

We file the hearing request, review officer reports and test records, and cross-examine at the hearing to protect your license.

What Happens at a DMV Hearing

The hearing officer decides whether the DMV proved lawful stop, arrest, test compliance and BAC or refusal allegations. Winning can mean a set-aside or stay of suspension.

Coordinated Court + DMV Strategy

The best results come from handling DMV and criminal court together, especially for Van Nuys, downtown LA and Valley clients facing two deadlines at once.
