California License Revocation Attorneys
During a DUI stop, the police can confiscate your driver's license and file a Notice of Suspension with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Fighting the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to get your license back is no easy task. In order to succeed, an attorney must know the complex California DMV laws that apply to these cases, must be able to cut through the red tape and must have a long-standing relationship with the DMV and its staff — the people with the discretion to get things done.
By choosing the Law Offices of Valencia, Ippolito & Bowman, you are choosing a law firm with the experience to succeed in these challenging matters. You will benefit from more than 65 years of combined experience. Our team includes former criminal prosecutors who know firsthand how police and district attorneys handle DUI arrests. We know how to defend you in all aspects of your DUI case, including DMV hearings.
Our law firm has won numerous awards, including being named Criminal Defense Firm of the Year by San Jose Magazine.
DMV Hearings After DUI Arrests
When you were arrested for DUI, the police officer provided you with a 30-day permit to drive. After that 30-day period, your driver's license suspension will begin. However, if you request an administrative per-se hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles Driver Safety Office within 10 days of your arrest, you can challenge the suspension.
Our lawyers will move quickly to request the hearing in a timely manner and then prepare for the hearing itself. During the hearing, the hearing officer will review three questions:
- Were you lawfully stopped by the police officer?
- Were you lawfully arrested?
- Were you driving with a .08 BAC or higher?
We know the steps to take to make these hearings successful. We also know all of the alternative options, such as requesting an ignition interlock device in exchange for a shorter period of suspension. We will represent you at your DMV hearing. We have an impressive record of success in restoring lost driving privileges.
