What You Need to Do Right Now

1

Request a DMV Hearing Immediately

Call us or submit the form below. We'll handle the DMV hearing request for you — it must be done within 10 days of arrest.

2

Keep Your Pink Slip Safe

The pink temporary license you received at arrest is your only proof of driving privileges. It expires in 30 days.

3

Do NOT Drive on a Suspended License

Driving on a suspended license is a separate criminal charge (VC 14601.2). It can add jail time and extend your suspension.

4

Gather Your Documents

Arrest report, citation, BAC test results, temporary license, any witness information. We'll need these for your hearing.

FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

What if my 10 days already passed?+

If you missed the deadline, your license will be suspended. But you still have options: restricted license after 30 days (work/school/DUI program), and we can still help with the full reinstatement process. Call us immediately.

Can I get a restricted license?+

Yes, in most first-offense cases. A restricted license allows driving to/from work, school, and your DUI program. Requirements: SR-22 insurance and IID installation.

How long will my license be suspended?+

First offense: 4 months (6 if you refused the test). Second: 2 years. Third: 3 years. We can often get you a restricted license much sooner.

Is the DMV hearing the same as court?+

No. The DMV hearing is completely separate from criminal court. You could win in court and still lose your license at the DMV, or vice versa.

How much does this cost?+

Plans start at $595 with payment plans available. Given that a DUI costs $10,000-$25,000 total, professional guidance saves you time, stress, and often money in the long run.
