DMV Expert Atorney

Attorney Rock Kendall serves a clientele which unfortunately has come under California Department of Motor Vehicle scrutiny for a variety of reasons often relating to questions concerning a person's ability to drive safely. He has wide experience in these matters and practices solely in this area of... the law. So, he is not a rookie and unfamiliar with the subjects which make up this area of concern. He is not a generalist or a general practitioner who is just learning the law and/or procedures involved. 12+ years experience in this area of the law speaks volumes concerning his expertise. He does his very best to give you timely and detailed counsel. I have hired other attorneys over the years in many areas of the law, Mr. Kendall exemplifies the very best with respect to the practice of law. I'd use him again and recommend him without reservation. Kenneth L. Rogers [email protected]

Excellent Services

Rock was a first class lawyer. He was very responsive, knowledgeable and informative. He did everything he told me he was going to do. His expertise in DMV matters was excellent. He has a video which is first class and very pertinent to DMV issues.

Mr. Rock Kendall is a true professional and the best at what he does

I was referred to Mr. Kendall by another great attorney. My case involved "road rage" with another motorist in what resulted in my driver license being revoked. Mr. Kendall was able to get my driver license back within less than a month without any restriction or conditions! I was amazed with the res...ults.

Excellent and Well Informed

My daughter in law located Mr. Rock Kendall via the internet and she was very impressed with his qualifications. He specializes in DMV Hearings for Medical, Vision, and Skill Issues. Mine was a medical issue. Rock helped with every step of my case. He was always available when I called him with q...uestions and his advise was correct everytime. I highly recommend him. He is professional and very efficient. He flew to Northern California two times. First to meet me and discuss the case and also when I went for the DMV interview. I can not say enough how much of a difference hiring Mr. Kendall made. He gave me confidence through a very difficult time. I passed my test with a 100% score. Thank you Rock for the great service you provide.

"Mr. Kendall is a full-service attorney in a highly specialized area of DMV law. He does not take DUI cases. He helps drivers who have medical and vision problems to re-instate or maintain their drivers licenses. He provides not only the legal expertise to help his clients, but he also provides the compassion and understanding that clients need to maintain their confidence during their drivers’ re-examinations. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Kendall, because he is not only highly skilled in the DMV law, but he also passionately cares about his clients."
