The Blalock Law Firm, PC stresses the importance of contacting the DMV within 10 days of arrest to schedule a hearing to fight license suspension. The DUI lawyer in Oakland recommends allowing them to fax a request to the DMV with a proof of receipt on behalf of the client.
The attorney also states that the DMV can take up to 14 days to assign a Hearing Officer, designate an in-person or phone hearing, and schedule a date and time to appear in court.
Those scheduled for a hearing can also request a Discovery Packet at least 10 days prior to any scheduled hearing. The hearing can be continued, with good cause, so that individuals can gather additional evidence to defend themselves against the DMV during the hearing.
