Driving While License Suspended

Fairfax Virginia Suspended Drivers License Attorneys

Operating a motor vehicle with a suspended or revoked drivers license can be a criminal offense in the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you are pulled over while driving on a suspended or revoked license, the police can take you to jail and impound your vehicle, and you may be sentenced to a jail term at the discretion of the judge.

Whether your license was originally suspended or revoked because you didn’t meet your financial responsibilities (i.e. insurance); failed to pay for earlier, unrelated traffic citations; were arrested for DUI, charged with refusing to submit to a blood alcohol test; or any of the other reasons for which your license could be suspended such as failure to pay child support. Getting stopped by the police without a valid license creates an additional set of problems. You now have to face the new criminal charge in addition to the original speeding, running stop sign, or Reckless Driving Summons. Furthermore, you still need to get your driving privileges reinstated.

At Hale Carlson Baumgartner, PLC, our attorneys have experience in restoring our clients’ license and driving privileges. That means clearing any outstanding financial obligation or previous citations, defending our client in his or her license hearing, and restoring his or her status to be eligible for a new drivers license. Trying to do all of this without a lawyer requires multiple court appearances and hearings. Unless you are able to leave your job several times over the course of a month, it only makes sense to hire a licensed, professional traffic attorney to jump the various legal hurdles that arise when dealing with traffic misdemeanors.

The traffic attorneys at Hale Carlson Baumgartner represent northern Virginia clients whose licenses have been suspended for:

• Drunk Driving or Blood Alcohol Test Refusal
• Driving In Violation of Restricted License or Learners Permit Restrictions
• Reckless Driving and other traffic misdemeanors
• Failure to Pay Traffic Fines
• Failure to Meet Financial Responsibilities (No Insurance)- Pay Child Support
• Driving Outside License Restrictions
• Hit and Run

In addition, our attorneys also represent individuals with suspended and revoked licenses or learners permits.

Losing your license can impact your ability to get to and from work, care for your children, maintain your household, and disrupt your life in a number of other ways. It can be very tempting to drive even knowing that your license has been suspended. If you do happen to be arrested or charged with driving on a suspended or revoked license, contact one of our Virginia traffic lawyers immediately.
