There are different situations which may cause a driver to face license suspension. Accumulating too many points on one's driving record within a certain period of time (due to traffic tickets) and convictions for particular serious traffic violations (such as DUI or hit and run) may result in the suspension or revocation of one's license for a set period of time. Fortunately, drivers are given the opportunity to challenge driver's license suspension by requesting a hearing with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The DMV hearing will give the driver the chance to present his or her case in front of a hearing officer, a DMV employee, in order to have his or her driving privileges reinstated. A driver may also apply for a restricted license, which would allow him or her to drive for limited purposes only, such as to drive to and from work or school, or for necessary household errands.
Working with a lawyer is highly beneficial if you are facing license suspension and are interested in requesting a hearing to challenge the suspension and have your license reinstated. Because this is an administrative process, you are not required to have legal counsel and the court will not provide you with an attorney. However, having a competent legal professional at your side will positively impact the outcome of your case. A San Diego license suspension lawyer will understand the exact process involved with your DMV hearing and can effectively represent your interests and protect your rights during this hearing - to offer you the greatest opportunity at a positive outcome.
