The DMV gives you ten days.
We make them count.
From the moment of arrest, a 10-day clock is running on your license. Miss it, and suspension is automatic — no hearing, no defense. We've fought more than 2,500 APS hearings across every case type. We know how to win yours.
The 10-Day Rule
A DUI-related arrest starts two separate cases. The criminal court is one. The DMV's administrative suspension is the other — and it moves first. You have exactly ten calendar days to request an APS hearing, or your suspension takes effect automatically.
Every APS Case Type. Handled.
Each hearing type carries different rules, suspension lengths, and defense strategies. We've argued them all.
Blood or breath result of .08% BAC or higher. First offense means a 4-month suspension. We challenge test accuracy, procedure, and probable cause.
LEARN MORE →Refusing a breath, blood, or urine test carries a mandatory 1-year suspension — even on a first offense. Strong defenses exist.
LEARN MORE →Drivers under 21 face a 1-year suspension at just .01% BAC. We fight for young drivers’ futures.
LEARN MORE →CDL holders face suspension at .04% BAC — half the standard limit. Your livelihood is on the line, and CDL rules are different.
LEARN MORE →A positive blood test for drugs — prescription or otherwise. The DMV process is the same, but the defense strategy is not.
LEARN MORE →A BAC of .15% or higher triggers enhanced penalties, mandatory IID, and longer program requirements. Higher stakes demand a stronger defense.

DUI arrest? Refusal? Under 21? CDL? We identify your exact hearing type and outline a strategy within minutes of your call.
We contact the DMV Driver Safety office, request your APS hearing, and extend your temporary driving privilege — immediately.
We prepare your defense: challenging BAC evidence, procedural errors, and officer testimony to get the suspension set aside.
What We Challenge
Breathalyzer calibration records, blood sample handling, rising-BAC defense, mouth-alcohol contamination.
Did the officer have legal justification to stop you? An improper stop can win the hearing outright.
Failure to read implied consent, improper observation period, missing DS-367 documentation.
California’s Title 17 mandates strict chemical-testing protocols. Violations can invalidate results entirely.
Cross-examination of the arresting officer’s observations, FST administration, and report accuracy.
Missing dashcam footage, incomplete reports, and chain-of-custody issues with blood samples.
