It is important to contact the DMV driver safety office in Sacramento at (916) 657-0214 within 10 days of your DUI arrest. When calling you need to demand an administrative hearing, regarding your driver's license. You must also request a stay of the suspension pending the hearing. If you do not contact the DMV within 10 days of your DUI arrest, you will lose your right to a hearing and your license will get suspended automatically at the expiration of 30 days. Going to or calling your local DMV office is not enough and will not prevent the DMV from suspending your license. The DMV hearing process can be complicated. The hearing officer acts as both the deciding judge and the prosecutor, or opposing party. You need an experienced DUI attorney who knows how to best defend you not only in criminal court but also at your DMV hearing to prevent, if possible, the DMV from taking away your license.
