How do I contact the DMV to request a hearing?
It is best, if you are going to retain a DUI attorney, to allow the attorney's office to schedule the DMV hearing for you. Our fee includes this service, and we can schedule a hearing that works with our availability (court and DMV) schedule. For your convenience, if you cannot retain an attorney within 10 days, the phone numbers for Southern California DMV matters, to do so, is reproduced here:

Call the office closest to the location of your arrest to request your hearing. Advise them that you are retaining an attorney, that you request a stay on your driver's license suspension, and that you will be sending a written request for discovery. They will ask if you request an "in person" or "telephonic" hearing, and we recommend that you set it for an in person, for reasons I am happy to discuss during our consultation. By making this request you ensure that that your driving privilege will not be suspended until your case is heard.
