DMV Suspension Hearings in Solano County

There are many circumstances that could cause your driver's license to be suspended by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Being arrested for a DUI is only one of the many causes of a license suspension. The suspension of your license by the DVM is completely separate from the court system. It is an administrative action concerning your driving privilege.

If you are found to be driving on a suspended license, the penalties for a first offence include a fine of up to $1000 and up to 6 months in jail. For a second offence within 5 years, you may be fined as much as $2000 and be jailed for up to a year. The penalties become more severe with each subsequent offense. It is a serious matter to operate a motor vehicle if your license is suspended. A Solano County criminal defense lawyer should be consulted with immediately upon being informed of a license suspension as there is limited time to request a DMV hearing.
