Cited or Arrested for Driving on a Suspended Drivers License?

Something can be done by a skilled California DUI / DMV attorney.

A charge of driving on a suspended license (Vehicle Code section 14601 et.seq.) is a crime that carries up to six months to one year in the county jail, plus fines & penalty assessments of $1000 - 2000.

Jail is not certain. So if you take care of your license problem correctly, it can usually be solved without ruining your background / DMV record or losing your employment.

Taking care of the suspension or getting your license back, and using a valid license to resolve the driving-on-a-suspended license case is the secret to getting an excellent result and avoiding jail.

This means finding the cause of the suspension and/or clearing up old failure to appear cases.

If the cause of the suspension is because of a California DUI conviction or California DMV suspension arising out of a California DUI incident, contact your California DUI lawyer immediately. If you are eligible for a restriction, do the things that are necessary to get your restricted license: enrollment in a licensed California DUI program, filing of an SR-22 and/or payment of DMV reissue fee(s).

If you were caught driving on a suspended license you probably need help with:

1) the new driving-on-a-suspended case; and 2) getting your license back from California DMV.

A skilled California criminal defense attorney can appear in court for you, get time to get your license back, and clear old failure to appear or warrant cases for you.
