Protect Your Right to Drive

Hiring a lawyer to defend you against a traffic ticket or DUI does not cost you money in the long-term. It actually saves you money in the end because:

• Many employers require a driver's license and a good driving record.
• If you have a Class A or commercial driver's license, a loss of points or a single DUI conviction can mean a loss of your livelihood.
• A DUI conviction or traffic offense can cause your insurance rates to go up for three years - in some cases by thousands of dollars.
• A DUI conviction comes with hefty court costs Link to California DMV Hearing, license reinstatement fees and fines.
• If your driver's license is suspended, you may be tempted to drive anyway. Individuals caught driving without a valid license face jail time.

Your driver's license is one of the most important assets you possess. If you have been charged with reckless or drunk driving, you need a skilled and experienced lawyer to help protect it. I have the experience to help you.
