A DMV hearing is held following a DUI arrest. A DMV hearing is entirely separate from your criminal court case and will NOT address whether you are guilty of a criminal act, rather this is the chance for your attorney to explain the circumstances of your arrest and hopefully prevent the suspension of your driver’s license. We only have 10 days to request a hearing or the hearing is deemed a loss by default and your license WILL BE SUSPENDED!
Our goal is always to win your DMV hearing, but the fact is that most DMV hearings are losses due to the rigid parameters set by the DMV. However, it’s always a good idea to have a DMV hearing even though the majority result in a loss. This is because some hearings do result in a win and even the hearings that result in a loss can be useful for obtaining evidence by subpoena or through testimony that can be useful later to fight your case in court.
If you lose your DMV hearing, yes, your license will be suspended. However, the length of time that you cannot legally drive is entirely up to you. If you lose your DMV hearing, you will receive a notification in the mail regarding your pending license suspension, however if you’ve completed all the requirements prior to getting this notification in the mail, you can go to the DMV the day your suspension begins and have your license reinstated that very same day.
Before you get a notification from the DMV, get ahead of the game and get your ducks in a row! Follow our simple 4-step guide so you can get your driving privileges reinstated immediately!
*Please note that these guidelines apply to MOST 1st time DUI cases and the rules/requirements will be different if you have prior convictions, you were involved in an accident, you were under 21, or if you refused the chemical test. Every case is unique and if you have questions about your specific situation, schedule your free consultation or give us a call today!

While not always required, attending AA meetings is a great way to show the court that you are taking the steps to mitigate the issues that may have led to your DUI charge. If your attorney advises you to attend AA meetings and you decide to attend them in-person, you’ll need to keep a record of all the meeting you attend.
With this in mind, we have created an AA attendance sheet that you can simply print out to take with you to all your AA meetings. Once every row has been filled in, you can print out another blank copy to continue your record-keeping.
If you would rather attend AA meetings virtually, please create a profile on https://www.intherooms.com/. Be sure to keep track of the attendance emails sent to you or take a screenshot of every virtual meeting you attend.
Please keep you attendance sheets in a safe place after they’ve been completely filled out – don’t lose them or you won’t be able to provide proof to the court. We suggest taking a picture of the completed attendance sheets so you have an additional record on your phone in the event that you lose the original attendance sheet.
Enter your name and email address below and the attendance sheet will be emailed to you.
Fill out the contact form with as much information as possible so we can call you with a quote and the options available to you.
We use you DOB and DL# to look up your traffic ticket(s)/suspended license info. With this information, we’ll be able to give you more accurate information about your case and how we’re able to help you when we contact you.
