Did the California DMV suspend or revoke your drivers license? Or is it threatening to do so? Or is the Department holding up your ability to obtain a license in another state? Do you need to reinstate a driving license that has already been suspended?
Whatever the situation, our California DMV Hearing Lawyers can help. We offer free consultations and we can usually help get your problems solved quickly.
Battling the Department of Motor Vehicles can be a daunting and frustrating task. It helps to (1) know the complex set of California DMV laws, (2) understand how to cut the red tape at this huge and stubborn bureaucracy, and (3) enjoy long-standing relationships with key Department staff who have the discretion to get things done.
If you get arrested for DUI, DUI of Drugs or Vehicular Manslaughter, the DMV will seek to suspend your drivers license. Out of state drivers with a California DUI may lose their license to drive in their home state. The Department calls these hearings "Administrative Per Se" or APS. If the driver got arrested for underage DUI or a chemical test refusal, the license suspension would last for at least one year.
But everyone is entitled to a California DMV hearing after a DUI arrest, to challenge whether a driver's license suspension should be imposed. This hearing must be requested within 10 days of the DUI arrest. Our DMV lawyers represent you at the hearing, and many times prevail and save your driving privileges.
A person who receives too many points on his driving record may be deemed a "negligent operator" and thereby see his drivers license suspended. The DMV imposes points for a variety of Vehicle Code violations, including accidents, traffic tickets (moving violations), and DUI and other criminal driving offenses.
If you receive a warning letter notifying you of a negligent operator suspension, contact us immediately. You must act quickly to secure a negligent operator hearing. Our California DMV hearing lawyers can represent you and many times prevent the drivers license suspension from being imposed.
If you or a loved one faces misdemeanor or felony charges, contact our California criminal defense attorneys for help. We'd be glad to meet with you for a free consultation at one of our local criminal law offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Van Nuys, Pasadena, Long Beach, Orange County, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino or Riverside.
I have a DMV Hearing coming up on Oct 7 2011. It is a 10 year Revocation from another state for DWI. I have complied for 10 years. I moved out of that state 6 years ago to California so they granted me a Telephone Trial. Any advice?
