Your Questions, Answered
What if my 10 days already passed?+
Missing the hearing-request deadline can affect your ability to contest the DMV administrative action before suspension. Other licensing options may still exist depending on your case, so review your notice and current status promptly.
Can I get a restricted license?+
Restricted-license eligibility varies by case and current California rules. SR-22 insurance, IID installation, DUI program enrollment, and other requirements may apply.
How long will my license be suspended?+
Suspension periods vary based on the DMV action, prior history, refusal issues, court consequences, and other facts. Review your specific DMV notice for the period that applies.
Is the DMV hearing the same as court?+
No. The DMV hearing is completely separate from criminal court. The criminal court matter and DMV administrative action can have different procedures and outcomes.
How much does this cost?+
Service pricing depends on the help you need. The initial review can identify whether your situation involves hearing advocacy, reinstatement support, SR-22 insurance, or a combination of services.
