San Diego DUI DMV Hearings – Dod Law Strongly Defends SoCal DUIs

If you are arrested for a DUI in San Diego or anywhere in Southern California, the consequences begin immediately. One of the most urgent steps is dealing with the California DMV, which has the power to suspend your driver’s license—even before your criminal case goes to court.  Learn more about San Diego DUI DMV hearings.

At Dod Law, APC, we understand how critical your driving privileges are. Attorney Dod Ghassemkhani, has decades of criminal defense experience, fights aggressively to protect your license and defend your rights in DMV hearings and criminal court.

Why DMV Hearings Matter in DUI Cases

After a DUI arrest, you have only 10 days to request a hearing with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. If you don’t act, your license will automatically be suspended.

A DMV hearing is separate from your criminal DUI case. While the court decides guilt or innocence, the DMV decides whether you can legally keep driving. The DMV focuses on:

• Whether the traffic stop and arrest were lawful
• If your BAC was 0.08% or higher (or 0.01% for under 21, 0.04% for commercial drivers)
• Whether chemical tests were administered properly

Losing this hearing means losing your license—sometimes for months or years.

The Stakes of Losing a DMV Hearing

A suspended license can disrupt every part of your life—work, school, family, and freedom. Suspension lengths may include:

• First DUI: 4 months to 1 year
• Second DUI: 1 to 2 years
• Third DUI or More: Up to 3 years or longer
• Refusal to Test: Automatic suspension for at least 1 year

Dod Law fights to prevent or minimize suspension so you can move forward without losing everything.
