The DMV Hearing

If your test showed that your blood alcohol content was .08% or higher, then the DMV will suspend your driver’s license if you do not request a hearing within ten days from the date that you were arrested.

How do I schedule a hearing?

The easiest way to request a DMV hearing is to contact David Lehr Law quickly. We can request a hearing for you at no expense to you and with no further obligation. If you wish to request the hearing yourself, then check the notice you received advising you of the action against your driving privilege. If the notice indicates you have the right to a hearing, you have ten days following receipt of the notice to request a hearing.

You may do so by writing to or telephoning one of the department’s Driver Safety Offices. Be sure to identify yourself by your full name, your driver license number, and your date of birth. You will also be asked to verify your correct mailing address.

You should not try to handle a DMV hearing by yourself. Contact the Law Offices of David Lehr so that we can help you fight to keep your driver’s license.

No matter what else that you do, make sure that you request a DMV hearing within ten days. We have had clients who called us after the ten day period was up. We won their court case, but they still lost their driver’s license.
