Reading the roster in Riverside. The first deadline is the case: ten days to request the DMV hearing, so contact counsel immediately after arrest. Look for attorneys who defend DUIs in the specific courthouse where the case will be heard, ask about their approach to the stop, the field tests, and the chemical-test evidence (calibration, rising-BAC, blood-draw procedure), and whether they staff the DMV hearing themselves. Flat fees by case stage are the norm in this practice.
