HERE IS HOW YOU CAN SAVE YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE:

At the law office of John R. Coniglio, Attorney at Law, in Monterey, California, I defend clients charged with a DUI / DWI. I defend clients throughout Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties, including the cities of Monterey, King City, Santa Clara, Hollister, Santa Cruz, and Salinas. Contact a California DUI attorney today to learn how I can help you save your driver's license!

WARNING!: YOU MUST REQUEST A HEARING WITHIN 10 DAYS OF YOUR ARREST
- The DMV Form that the police officer handed to you states in bold that you have 10 days to request a hearing. If you do not request a hearing within 10 days of your arrest, your chance to save your license will be gone and you may never have a real chance to fight it. In order to prevent the DMV from suspending your license until after the hearing, you must request a hearing within 10 days of your arrest. This will stay the suspension until the hearing is held and a decision made. This is probably the most important step you can take to protect your license. You should have an experienced DUI attorney handle this for you (lawyers have a direct line to the DMV and can do this for you quickly)! I have even heard of DMV employees telling people not to request a hearing. Since this is so important, if you contact my office we will do it for you for free.

YOU CAN WIN YOUR DMV HEARING: IT’S WORTH FIGHTING THE DMV!
- Contrary to what it reads on the DMV Form, you do not have to show that the driver's license suspension is not justified. The burden is on the DMV to show that the suspension is justified. This statement is misleading and an inaccurate statement of the law. It is intended to dissuade you from requesting a hearing. In fact, according to the DMV’s own statistics for a recent year, 34% of all persons whose license was suspended for DUI at the time of their arrest kept their driver’s license by requesting a hearing to fight the suspension. If you hire an experienced and knowledgeable driver's license suspension lawyer, the odds of winning the hearing increase to between 40% and 70%, depending upon the skills of the lawyer, hearing location and the particular hearing officer.
