RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, DRIVER’S LICENSE SUSPENSION LAWYER

NORTH CAROLINA LICENSE REVOCATION ATTORNEY

Ignoring a revoked or suspended license will not make the problem go away. In fact, by ignoring it you could be put in jail if you are pulled over for any reason. Driving with a suspended or revoked license can result in conviction for a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries up to 120 days in jail, fines and a criminal record.

This means that after an arrest for driving with a suspended or revoked license, you have two sides to your case. First, there are the criminal charges for driving without a valid license. Second, you will also need to resolve the suspension or revocation of your license so you can avoid future issues.

WHY WAS MY LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED?

An arrest for driving with a suspended or revoked license can come as a surprise to many people. There are a number of ways your license may have been suspended by the North Carolina DMV, including:

  • Failure to appear (FTA): If you failed to appear for court, your license may have been revoked. This could be for any type of criminal case, from an assault to drug possession charge.
  • Old or too many tickets: As your receive tickets for speeding and other traffic offenses, points build on your license. If you receive 12 or more points in a three-year period, your license will be automatically suspended.
  • Certain types of traffic violations: Specific types of traffic violations can automatically result in a suspension or revocation. This includes excessive speeding (more than 55 mph and at least 15 mph over limit), racing as well as vehicular homicide or manslaughter.
  • DWI: Conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI) will lead to the automatic suspension of your license. Your length of the suspension will depend on whether this is a your first DWI or if you have had multiple convictions.

RESTORING YOUR DRIVING PRIVILEGES

We understand how important your driving privileges are and we work with the DMV to restore them. We may be able to help you deal with old tickets you failed to pay or ask for a continuance. We have worked with many clients, helping them recover their driving privileges after charges of driving with a revoked or suspended license, and we can help you.

WHAT IF I NEED TO GO TO WORK OR SCHOOL WITHOUT MY LICENSE?

While your license is suspended, it may be possible to secure a temporary license or limited license that will allow you to go to work, school and other vital commitments. We have helped countless clients acquire limited licenses, and we can help you through the legal process.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEARING UP YOUR DRIVING RECORD

It is important to clear up old court cases, traffic violations and criminal charges to ensure that they do not affect your driving privileges in the future. This includes:

  • Cases that may have been voluntarily dismissed with leave (VL) or voluntarily dismissed without leave (VD) by the prosecutor
  • Old traffic tickets for even the smallest infractions
  • Prayer for judgment continued (PJC) cases
  • Waivers and waiver of appearance
