Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

CA DMV Hearing

I have an upcoming Hearing with the CA DMV. It was alleged that I was in an accident in or around Fresno, CA and did not report it to the DMV.

In fact, I was not in Fresno on that date, and I was NOT in any accident whatsoever.

On that date and time, I was at work, 60 miles away. I am the only one in control of my vehicle.

I have gathered some evidence to support my claim:

1) I have a signed letter from my supervisor saying that I was at work on that date and time.

2) I have my timecard which shows that I was at work all day long on that day.

3) I have pictures of my car which show no damage.

4) I am willing to sign a sworn statement under penalty of perjury that I was at work, and not involved in any accident whatsoever.

5) No one has filed a claim on my insurance.

I don't know who is accusing me of being in a wreck, but I guess I will find out at the hearing.

My question is this: Should I hire a lawyer to represent me in the hearing? I am innocent, and have done nothing wrong, but I am apprehensive about being in ''the system''.

Is there any other compelling evidence that I could submit that would support my innocence?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hiring an attorney would be helpful. If you do not retain an attorney then check the Nolo Press Book "How to Fight Your Traffic Ticket" This book provides a lot of good information about traffic ticket defense.
