When you're arrested for a DUI-related offense in California, the DMV starts a separate administrative process to suspend your license — completely independent from criminal court. You have exactly 10 calendar days from the date of arrest to request an APS hearing. If you don't, your license suspension takes effect automatically.
Day 1–10
Your temporary license is valid. Request a hearing NOW to extend it until your hearing date.
Day 11+
If no hearing was requested, your suspension begins automatically — 30 days after arrest.

We request the hearing, extend your driving privilege, and prepare your defense immediately.
Every Type of APS Hearing — We Handle Them All
Each hearing type has different rules, suspension lengths, and defense strategies. Our team knows the nuances of every one.
DUI APS Hearing
Blood or breath test result of .08% BAC or higher. First offense = 4-month suspension. We challenge test accuracy, procedure, and probable cause.
Learn more →Chemical Test Refusal
Refused a breath, blood, or urine test. Refusal carries a mandatory 1-year suspension — even for first offense. Strong defenses exist.
Learn more →Under 21 Zero Tolerance
Drivers under 21 face suspension at just .01% BAC. 1-year suspension for first offense. We fight for young drivers' futures.
Learn more →Commercial Driver (CDL)
CDL holders face suspension at .04% BAC — half the normal limit. Your livelihood is on the line. We understand CDL-specific rules.
Learn more →Drug-Related DUI
Positive blood test for drugs (prescription or otherwise). The DMV process is the same, but defense strategies differ from alcohol cases.
Learn more →Excessive BAC (.15+)
BAC of .15% or higher triggers enhanced penalties including mandatory IID and longer DUI program requirements. Higher stakes need stronger defense.

What We Challenge at Your Hearing
BAC Test Accuracy
Breathalyzer calibration records, blood sample handling, rising BAC defense, mouth alcohol contamination.
Probable Cause
Did the officer have legal justification to stop you? Improper stops = hearing won.
Procedural Errors
Failure to read implied consent, improper observation period, missing DS-367 form documentation.
Title 17 Violations
California's Title 17 regulations mandate strict protocols for chemical testing. Violations can invalidate results.
Officer Testimony
Cross-examination of the arresting officer's observations, FST administration, and report accuracy.
Evidence Gaps
Missing dashcam footage, incomplete reports, chain of custody issues with blood samples.
