How Do You Challenge Traffic Crimes in California?

Traffic - San Bernardino traffic crime attorney

What is unique about many traffic crimes is that a driver will actually face two separate proceedings: one with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and one in criminal court. The DMV has the power to suspend or revoke your driver’s license if you are arrested for certain traffic crimes. With DUI, for example, you may face license suspension if you refuse a breath test or take a breath test that shows a result of .08% or greater.

In criminal court, you will face charges for the violation and may face penalties like:

  • Imprisonment
  • Fines
  • probation

    “Leave your worries behind”
    I was very worried about my case which was an old case that Dennis Kuntz took care of perfectly. He keeps in contact and really put me at ease. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is lucky enough to have him.
    - Jennifer
    “My experience with Mr. Kuntz was a breath of fresh air, and I would definitely recommend hiring a dedicated, genuine attorney like him.”
    Mr. Kuntz was professional and very helpful. Whenever I needed clarification, he was always available to answer my questions. I appreciated the fact that I wasn't being considered just another client, but a person who truly needed counsel. When dealing my first DUi in 2004, I hired a "Big Shot" attorney to handle my case. I was highly overcharged, and had many confusing ordeals which felt unnecessary. I was not satisfied to say the least, and felt like I got robbed. My experience with Mr. Kuntz was a breath of fresh air, and I would definitely recommend hiring a dedicated, genuine attorney like him.
    - Riley
    “Mr. Kuntz handled my case professionally and kept me informed of my options from start to finish.”
    Mr. Kuntz handled my case professionally and kept me informed of my options from start to finish. Made me feel comfortable knowing I was in good hands. More than satisfied with the outcome.
    - Tom
    “We felt very confident with Mr. Kuntz, and appreciated the lengths he would go to for our case.”
    We felt very confident with Mr. Kuntz, and appreciated the lengths he would go to for our case. When information was confusing, he was very clear about the next step, and what results to expect. He never made us feel like we weren't a priority. Not to mention, we received the absolute BEST possible outcome in our situation. Needless to say, we were very satisfied.
    - Denise
    “If you ever find yourself needing a , hard working, loyal, compassionate lawyer, I definitely recommend Dennis.”
    I had really gotten myself into serious, felonious trouble. Looking at 3 to 5 state prison time. I cannot say enough about how dedicated Dennis was to me and my situation. Not often do you feel like someone who doesn't know you at all, really CARES about you, and what he can do for you. Not once did Dennis give up on getting me the best possible outcome to my case. It's obvious that Dennis loves what he does, will go the extra mile to work hard and really WANT the best for you. I will forever be grateful that I retained Dennis for my case. Because of his hard work, relationships with the court, and his overall passion for what he does, I will be able to get a job, be able to vote, and get on with my life with no jail time, and a misdemeanor rather than a felon on my record. If you ever find yourself needing a , hard working, loyal, compassionate lawyer, I definitely recommend Dennis.
