ASSISTING CLIENTS WITH CALIFORNIA DMV ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS

One of the cardinal rules for persons in California who have been stopped and arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol is that you must request hearing within 10 calendar days of the arrest. The arresting officer should give you a ping temporary license form with this information on it. Many times they forget, but you still must contact DMV within 10 days. Call my office and we will request the hearing for you even if you decide not to retain me.

I am DUI defense attorney Blackie Burak. During the nearly 40 years that I've been defending clients against DUI / DWI charges, I have appeared at thousands of DMV hearings. What happens in DMV hearings is often entirely different from what might happen if the case goes to court. At a DMV hearing, there is no prosecutor. The goal is retain the right to drive for our clients.

I have helped countless clients obtain a positive outcome at these hearings. Contact my Walnut Creek law office toll free at 1-866-BLCKDUI for a free consultation to learn how I can help you. I can visit clients wherever they are.
