How We Can Help You Win Your DMV Hearing

Hearings are informal “mini-trials” conducted at a Department of Motor Vehicles office in front of a hearing officer who serves as both prosecutor and judge. You have the right to a hearing in most cases before DMV takes any permanent action against your driver’s license, endorsement or special certificate.

The two situations where you don’t have the right to a hearing are (1) when the Vehicle Code makes the suspension mandatory (like the one that follows a DUI conviction) and (2) when, despite receiving proper notice, you fail to request a hearing on time.

Winning your DMV hearing may mean:
