“I thought paying was the easy way out. Corina showed me what it would do to my insurance first, and it took one phone call, not a day off work.”

After you pick
What the first week looks like
- 01
Day one: you tell us
Pick from the list above or call. We ask for the date, the charge and your license type, and nothing more.
- 02
Day two: we read the paper
The citation, the notice, any test results. We list every deadline in plain words, the license one first.
- 03
Day three: a plan and a price
Both in writing, before you pay. If we can't help, we say so and tell you who might.
- 04
By day five: what's due is filed
A hearing request, a plea, a response. You get a copy of each.
Papers to gather
Bring what you have. Skip what you don't.
A missing paper never keeps us from starting. These are the ones that save the most time.
Helpful to have
The ticket, citation or arrest paperwork
Any notice about your license
The date, and the city or county where it happened
Whether you hold a regular or a commercial license
Drivers on the other side of it
“My license notice was in English and I couldn't tell how long I had. Rosendo explained it in Spanish that afternoon and filed the request for me.”
Jovita M.License hearing
“My whole job rides on that license. They asked about my route and my carrier before they asked about the ticket, and that's when I knew they understood.”

Sample comments. Every case is different, and how these drivers' matters ended doesn't predict yours.
Questions drivers ask first
What does the first call cost?
The first call is for listening and reading your paperwork. We tell you the price of any work before you agree to it, in writing.
I don't know what to do first.
Look for dates on every paper. The license deadline is usually the shortest, so we start there and work outward.
My ticket is from another town. Can you help?
We appear in Las Cruces and across Doña Ana County. For other places we tell you honestly whether we can go, or who to call.
Is what I tell you private?
Once we've agreed to talk, yes: what you tell a lawyer about your case is confidential. Until then, please keep details off the form and the email.
Have a notice in hand? Call before its deadline.
A lawyer reads it with you, in English or Spanish, and tells you the date that matters most.
