YOU MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY OR LOSE YOUR LICENSE
If you've been arrested for a DUI in California, you have 10 days from the date of your arrest to contact the DMV and request a hearing and a "stay" of the suspension of your license. If you have been arrested, it is likely that the officer stopped you, cited you for DUI, and snatched your license right from your hands, replacing it with a pink piece of paper indicating that you had a temporary driver's license for 30 days (DS 367 form).

Oftentimes, people confuse this with a right to take action within the 30 day time period. This is not true. Action must be taken within 10 days of the arrest. Accordingly, it is critical that you contact a sophisticated DUI/DMV lawyer who can fight for your license.

A qualified attorney, such as Mr. Bruno, can study in analyze the DMV paperwork and immediately spot defenses that may be critical to the retention of your license. Mr. Bruno will fight for your rights at the DMV so that you can keep your license, keep your job, and keep on driving.

THE HEARING
Mr. Bruno regularly litigates DMV hearings, and routinely wins them. Mr. Bruno continuously studies with the best DUI lawyers in the state, inventing new and powerful ways to beat the bureaucracy that is the DMV. Make no mistake, in Southern California you need your license. With so much that stake, will some time you need someone who will attend the hearing in person-- prepared with all of the relevant defenses-ready to advocate on your behalf.

The hearing officer from the DMV is not a lawyer or a judge. They are simply government workers trained in every way imaginable to take your license. They are not there as neutral deciders of the facts. They are there as the prosecuting agency, judge and jury, all rolled into one. Does this sound fair? It is not fair. The deck is stacked incredibly against the citizen. That is why you need someone who knows what the hearing officer knows, and more. You need someone who will do whatever it takes to save your license. Mr. Bruno will do just that.
