What Can The Kavinoky Law Firm Do to Help?

California drivers who accumulate a certain number of “points” on their records face a license suspension or restriction under the state’s negligent operator regulations. However, a license suspension isn’t automatic – the driver is entitled to a hearing and can be represented by an attorney who will present evidence on his or her behalf. The skilled defense lawyers at The Kavinoky Law Firm are experienced at fighting for the rights of drivers at DMV negligent operator hearings.

Any driver who accumulates four points in one year, six points in two years, or eight points in three years faces a Department of Motor Vehicles negligent operator hearing. How the driver’s license is affected is largely up to the discretion of the DMV hearing officer. There are any number of mitigating and aggravating factors that can impact the outcome of the hearing. A driver with an expert defense lawyer at his or her side has a far better chance of having a favorable outcome.

An experienced defense attorney from The Kavinoky Law Firm will present evidence of mitigating factors that could reduce or eliminate the punishment meted out by the D.M.V. For example, when a lawyer presents evidence that the motorist must drive to work and provides a significant source of income for the family, the DMV may choose to restrict the license rather than suspend it, or may take no action at all.

A skilled defense lawyer will also present a plan of corrective action that shows that the driver is committed to improving his or her driving record. For example, the attorney may demonstrate that the motorist is currently enrolled in a safe driving course in order to get a better grasp on California traffic regulations.

Certain mental or physical conditions can also contribute to points on a driver’s record. An experienced California defense attorney will determine whether the driver suffered from a condition that may have contributed to accumulated moving violations, and whether treatment could ensure that the condition is corrected.

There are any number of factors that can influence the outcome of a DMV negligent operator hearing, and the knowledgeable defense lawyers of The Kavinoky Law Firm are well-versed in the issues that can help the driver’s case and possibly preserve driving privileges. An experienced legal professional will thoroughly review the driver’s case and record and develop an effective defense strategy. Contact them today for a free consultation.
