Driver's License Suspension & Revocation

Robert J. Winston - Northern California License Suspension Attorney

Got a DUI? Your license may be ordered suspended or revoked by the court, by the D.M.V., or by both. The DMV wants to suspend your driver's license for anywhere from 4 months (first offense) to 3 years as a result of your drunk driving arrest. This is entirely separate from the criminal prosecution. If you need your driver's license, your attorney has only ten (10) calendar days to contact DMV! Too many points? You can lose your license for a year or more. Medical condition? DMV may never give you your license back without our help.

In California, driving is considered a privilege, not a right. Your driver’s license is subject to suspension or revocation if the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) decides you are not capable or deserving of the privilege to drive. Losing your driver’s license will seriously limit your ability to function in our society, so it is vital that you hire an experienced Northern California attorney like Mr. Winston to help you retain it. Contact northern California license suspension attorney Robert J. Winston to schedule a free initial consultation.

Robert J. Winston has handled hundreds of DMV administrative hearings in his career, and he is a lawyer that has a strong grounding in the traffic laws from his time as a Traffic Judge and a Criminal Prosecutor. Whether your license is being challenged because of a DUI charge, a medical condition, or the accumulation of too many moving violations, Mr. Winston is the lawyer who can help you protect your driving privilege. His office is located about a block from the DMV office in Modesto, and he frequently defends clients there.

When facing a DUI, do not confuse the pink 30 day temporary driver license with your court date! The DMV and criminal proceedings are separate and independent. The outcome of one almost never affects the other. Sometimes drivers are mislead into believing that the temporary driver license is good "until the court date"...it’s not. Extensions of the temporary license are possible, especially if Mr. Winston has set a DMV hearing for you.

In many of these DMV hearings, Mr. Winston is required to show that his clients are medically fit to drive. He often helps individuals with a variety of medical conditions, including seizures, heart conditions, diabetes or epilepsy, when they are required to provide medical evidence showing that they are still capable of operating a motor vehicle safely.

Don’t drive without a valid license. If you drive when your privilege is suspended or revoked, you face county jail, heavy fines, and the impounding or loss of your vehicle.
