What a DMV Advocate does — and what we do not do
After a DUI, the DMV runs its own administrative process, separate from criminal court. A DMV Advocate handles that side for you, including appearing at the hearing.
DUI Consulting Firm is not a law firm. We provide administrative services and DMV advocacy. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and working with us does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What we do
- Review your case and open your file
- Prepare and submit the required documentation
- File your SR-22 or FR-44 certificate of financial responsibility
- Communicate with the California DMV on your behalf
- Request and schedule your administrative hearing when one applies
- Appear at that hearing and present your case
- Follow up until the administrative process closes
What we do not do
- Represent you in criminal court
- Give legal advice or legal opinions
- Act as your attorney
- Promise a particular outcome from the DMV or from a court
Why the hearing matters
The DMV hearing is an administrative proceeding that decides whether your driving privilege is suspended, and it runs on its own deadline — in California, the window to request it is short and starts running from the date of the arrest.
Missing that window generally means the suspension takes effect without any review. That deadline is one of the first things we check during your free consultation.
Not sure whether your hearing deadline is still open?
Call us and we'll check with you. It costs nothing to find out.
