California DMV Attorneys

Boat and Vehicle Registration Violations • Driver's License Suspensions • Negligent Operator Designation • Driving Record Points

Our Lawyers Have Over 100 Years of Combined Experience in the Bay Area

After you have been in an auto accident in California, you are required to submit a report to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 10 days if there were any injuries (even minor ones) or damage over $750. (FORM SR-1 can be obtained at www.dmv.ca.gov)

If you have been cited for nonconformity with DMV regulations regarding accident reports, driver's license suspensions, failure to carry insurance, or failure to register vehicles or watercraft, consult with the California DMV attorneys of Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel.

We represent clients at DMV administrative hearings to contest the suspension of driver's licenses and to contest points. If you have received a notice of action against your driving privilege, we can help.

A telephone hearing with the DMV is not a secure way to protect your rights or prevent negative consequences. Our attorneys are available to represent you at an in-person hearing where we will work to minimize fees and penalties such as possible jail time, license suspensions or revocations.
