Driving Licence Revocation - Traffic Lawyer
Revocation, authority proceedings, and defence options in Germany

If revocation of your driving licence is threatened or already ordered, early legal review is especially important. The key issues are usually points, prior incidents, the authority's reasoning, and whether the loss of the licence can still be prevented or limited.

These issues usually matter most:

  • Review of the authority's reasoning and your previous points record
  • Assessment of whether the hearing, the order, or the file position looks challengeable
  • Evaluation of the practical consequences for work, daily life, and further licence measures
  • Clear lawyer guidance on defence options and the next practical step

You receive a clear first assessment of how robust the measure appears and what response now makes sense.

Important to know: In licence-revocation matters, deadlines, previous history, and the precise reasoning of the authority often matter most.

Frequently asked questions

Is licence revocation the same as a driving ban?

No. Revocation of the driving licence goes significantly further than a temporary driving ban. That is why early review is important.

Does my points balance matter here?

Yes. Depending on the case, your previous points balance can be central to the authority's decision.

Can an MPU also be required?

Yes. Depending on the reason for the revocation, the authority may also require an MPU.

Should I already react to a hearing notice?

Often yes. Early notices should usually be reviewed before you make statements too quickly.

Is this part of general traffic law?

Yes. Licence measures are among the more sensitive parts of traffic law.

Fast case processing, very friendly contact, would gladly use their services again (not the accident itself, but the handling of the case by Dr. Lerch...)

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal
