Practice AreasAdministrative License HearingsFighting to Maintain our Client's Driving PrivilegesThe lawyers at the Law Offices of Donald M. Kelly have extensive experience representing clients at administrative license suspension hearing. It is of the utmost importance to file a request for a hearing within ten days of receiving an order of suspension. While it is possible to get a hearing if the deadline is missed, it is not automatic. Contact Our San Jose or Santa Cruz DUI Attorneys Today. Administrative license suspension hearings are a cross between a court room trial and arbitration. While the California Department of Motor Vehicles will tell you that you do not need to have counsel at these hearings, that is disingenuous. Since the hearing officer serves as the judge as well as the prosecutor at DUI hearings, the deck is already stacked against you. Our skilled DUI lawyers use the administrative license suspension hearings for three purposes, to secure a client's driving privileges, to impeach the arresting officer at trial, and, when reasonable, to find cause to appeal the license suspension to superior court. We are committed to aggressively defending our client's driving privileges, while constantly working to protect their legal interests in the criminal matters associated with a DUI charge. While we strive to win at every administrative license suspension hearing, it is not always possible. However, losing does not mean that our clients cannot drive. Our attorneys routinely help clients obtain restrictive driver's licenses that allow them to drive to and from work. Let us help you drive the DUI process; don’t let the process drive you.
