  • Find out why your license is suspended or about to be suspended and what to do to avoid a license suspension.
  • We can help you get a DMV Hearing to protect your license if the DMV is trying to suspend your license for too many DMV points, or for driving over 100 mph, for a DUI, or for a DMV Priority Re-Examination or Request for Regular Re-Examination of Driver – you must immediately request a DMV Hearing to try and protect your license because you only have a very short period of time to request a DMV Hearing. It is imperative that you contact the DMV immediately and request a DMV Hearing if you receive a letter from the DMV suspending your license. A DMV Hearing gives you an opportunity to avoid a suspension of your license.
  • To Request a DMV Hearing you must call a special DMV phone number. The California DMV phone number for requesting a DMV Hearing is 1-833-543-7703. Please call us if you need help or advice with a DMV Hearing.
  • If you have a hold on your license from an old traffic ticket that is now with a collection agency we can clear up your license for you

Keep in mind if you get a traffic ticket for a moving violation like a speeding ticket or a stop sign ticket that is considered a moving violation and will put one DMV point on your record. Accidents that are your fault also put one DMV point on your record. More serious traffic violations such as a DUI, driving over 100 mph, driving on a suspended license, a hit and run charge, exhibition of speeding, evading the police and reckless driving put 2 DMV points on your license and you are halfway to 4 DMV points. If you are a commercial truck driver and you get a ticket in your commercial vehicle you are looking at 1.5 DMV points going on your record from a ticket including for tickets you got in other states outside of California. If you get 4 or more DMV points in a year you will get a letter from the DMV suspending your license for 6 months. You must then immediately request a DMV Hearing to protect your license so it does not get suspended for 6 months. Call (310) 285-1516 for help if you have received a letter from the DMV suspending your license for 6 months for too many DMV points because we can help you so your license does not get suspended for 6 months..
