Whether it be a city or state agency there are some agencies I have dealt with in my career that are worth noting. Keep in mind, all Administrative Law hearings are allowed to use otherwise inadmissible hearsay.
California's Department of Motor Vehicles has numerous divisions. One that is critical to you obtaining a license after any suspension is the Mandatory Action unit. They must receive the proper paperwork from the other units such as driver's safety and licensing. Numerous times i have had to write letters and make phone calls to fix gaps in the administration for clients.
When one receives a citation for driving under the influence their driver's license is confiscated by the police and they are given a "temporary license" generally on pink paper. This is valid for 10 days. In that time a driver must set an administrative hearing. These are very difficult to win, but it can be done with the right facts and techniques.
Every driver is entitled to 4 points on their driving record. Moving violations generally result in a point against your driving privilege. At fault accidents are also one point. Driving over 100 miles an hour, DUI and reckless driving result in 2 points being deducted.
If you are a commercial driver moving violations accrue in increments of 1.5 points for moving violations and 2 points for driving misdemeanors such as exceeding 70 mph.
When a driver reaches 4 points within 2 years they must have a hearing to keep their driving privileges. I have successfully kept drivers on the road.
When a city's code enforcement tells a resident that an item or items need to be cleaned up I have had to become involved for some clients whose legael rights were being threatened by neighbors or in one case the city was citing my client to clean up city owned property. That city took responsibility and cleaned up their property.
If you hold a professional license and a complaint has been made against you, the Department of Real Estate investigates and sends letters. I have helped realtors stay in business when incorrect facts have been levied against them.
If your job misclassified you and/or fired you for a reason that was not "good cause" you deserve unemployment insurance when you lose a W-2 wage and hour job. If you were wrongly classified as an independent contractor or want to challenge the "goood cause" of your termination you can request a hearing from the Employment Development Department. I have helped employees obtain such insurance.
