Q. Do I still hire a lawyer to handle my dui if I didn’t call within the 10 days for the dmv hearing?

I didn’t call to request a hearing within the 10 days as it said on my temporary pink paper and it’s been after 30 days like it said on it if strictly no driving and I went to the DMV and it still says they have no record of me and it’s been 3 months since the initial arrest and my court date isn’t until January. Is a lawyer still able to help me with my situation.


​A. You can hire a lawyer anytime along the process, hiring a lawyer means you have an advocate in the criminal prosecution aspect of your case, and a person to help you move forward with your license suspension. You can find out more about the suspension and reinstatement process by calling Mandatory Actions Unit of the DMV 1.916.657.6525, they can tell you your options.
