- Reckless driving-speeding: Speeding tickets can add DMV points to your driving record, increase your insurance rates and bring you that much closer to a possible license suspension by the DMV. We can help protect your driving privileges.
- Hit and Run: Leaving the scene of an accident or eluding police after a crash carries significant consequences, even if your actions were unintentional.
- Drive on suspended license: Failure to pay a court fine or failure to provide proof of insurance can result in the suspension of your license. Defendants are often unaware that they were driving on a suspended license when they are arrested.
- Restricted Driver's License: If your driver's license is suspended or revoked, you may be able to obtain a restricted driver's license. We can help you determine if you qualify.
- Uniform demerit point system/DMV points: The Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend or revoke your license for a variety of reasons. We explain how the points system works and what you can do to protect your right to drive.
