DMV/Driver License Hearings
Excessive Point Suspensions (Suspended License) are governed by the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). When a person is pulled over and given a traffic ticket, the traffic violation you allegedly violated will have a penalty associated with it which usually includes points assessed against your drivers license and a fine. For example, Speeding Ticket Penalties can range from one (1) point all the way to twelve (12) points and a fine. The time period for the accumulation of points accrues at the time of violation. C.R.S 42-2-127(2)(a). In Colorado, the amount of points assessed against your license in a given year or preceding year is the trigger for the DMV to trigger an excessive point suspension. A Colorado DMV point suspension lawyer should be contacted to explain your rights when you are facing a license suspension; but the following general information is provided, and under no circumstance should the information you read here be substituted for actual legal advice about your case.
The amount of points that can be assessed against your license before an excessive point suspension is triggered depends on your age:
- 21 years or older: 12 points within any 12 consecutive months or 18 Points within any 24 consecutive months
- 18-21 years old : 9 points within any 12 consecutive months or 12 points within any 24 consecutive months or 14 + points accumulated between the ages of 18-21
- Under 18 years old: 6 points within any 12 consecutive months or 7 points prior to turning age 18

What Clients are Saying
A great experience from the beginning, Ike focused only on what was needed to make a successful case, very responsive and ensured we understood each step of the process. His negotiation skills are excellent, we never imagined such a reduction in the charge brought against our son considering the circumstances. Incredibly happy with the outcome, and all at the most reasonable price we could find. Thanks so much Ike!

Corey
Professional and knowledgeable attorney! I received an out of state speeding ticket leading to a misdemeanor charge. Attorney Lucero represented me in court and kept me informed during the process. He was honest and his one time fee was reasonable, compared to other attorneys I spoke to. My misdemeanor was dropped to a traffic infraction. Happy with results, and sure learned my lesson.

Professional and knowledgeable are the two characteristics you want most from an attorney and Ike is very much both.
He made the whole process as painless as possible, letting me know what would happen at each stage of the process and answering my emailed questions very quickly, often within minutes. His very reasonable rates were an added bonus.
I highly recommend Mr. Lucero if you are in need of his services.

I have never received a ticket until I moved to Denver. I got caught in one of Denver’s speed traps. It was a Sunday afternoon when I got caught and emailed Ike Lucero. For my surprise he emailed me back within an hour. He was very professional and knowledgable. I hope I don’t need to use him ever again but if I have to I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him
ALINE
I had an excellent experience with Ike Lucero. He handled a speeding ticket that I received while visiting Colorado, and negotiated a very favorable plea bargain for me. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Throughout the whole process, Ike was responsive and willing to answer all of my questions regarding my options and the steps I needed to take. I would recommend him to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

Michael
I am from Arizona and received a traffic ticket in Colorado and reached out to a couple of lawyers for help. Ike was the only one to return my call — and returned it on a weekend! He then helped me to understand the traffic laws of Colorado. I appreciated his prompt response and thorough knowledge of the law for traffic tickets. I would use him in the future.
