Overview of Suspended License Cases in California
A suspended license is an aggravating predicament many Californians face every year. The California Department of Motor Vehicles reported 648,479 license suspensions and 19,744 revocations in 2022.
Licenses can be suspended in California due to driving history, criminal convictions, or as a consequence of neglected legal responsibilities. Where your suspended license case in East Los Angeles is handled depends on the reason for the suspension. Criminal matters, such as DUIs, are processed through the courthouse located at 4848 Civic Center Way, East Los Angeles, CA 90022.
Reasons for License Suspensions in California
There are many reasons why your license may be suspended. Common reasons include:
- Medical conditions that may impair your driving ability
- Unpaid parking tickets
- Ignoring court appearances or refusing to pay legal expenses
- Fraudulent license information
- DUI charges, regardless of conviction
- Involvement in an accident that results in serious bodily harm or death
- Failure to procure auto insurance
- Refusal of a chemical sobriety test after being arrested
- Unpaid child support if you earn more than 70% of Los Angeles County’s median income.
The length of suspensions varies from months to years, depending on the reason for the suspension. Driving while your license is suspended is illegal. A first offense may result in jail time lasting between five days and six months and fines ranging from $300 to $1000. A second offense within five years increases punishments to imprisonment of up to a year and $2000 fines.
California DMV’s Negligent Operator Treatment System
California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) utilizes a point model to track driving infractions, known as the Negligent Operator Treatment System (NOTS). Minor errors, such as taking a wrong turn or speeding, count as one point. Major violations, such as reckless driving or DUIs, count as two points.
The accumulation of points does not result in an immediate license suspension. The DMV will send a warning letter at level one, a notice of intent to suspend at level two, before an official suspension at level three. To qualify for level three, you must accrue four points within 12 months, six in 24 months, or eight in 36 months.

FAQs About East Los Angeles, CA Suspended License Law
How Much Does a Suspended License Attorney Cost in California?
How much your California suspended license attorney costs depends on the severity of your suspension, the complexity of your case, and the work hours it requires. A temporary suspension for a minor infraction, such as unpaid parking tickets, will cost less than a multi-year revocation due to a fatal crash. The Law Office of Daniel P.
