Don't Let a Driving on a Suspended License Charge in Pennsylvania Ruin
Your Life!
Fight for Your Rights and Freedom to Drive
Having your license suspended is
extremely stressful and inconvenient. I know that some difficult event caused
that suspension, and now on top of that, you are facing a
Pennsylvania criminal charge for driving on a suspended license. The
additional criminal charges for driving while your license was suspended,
make things even more complicated and you now facing further
penalties, additional suspensions, and even possible jail time if
convicted.
Having a driver’s license is a privilege that
we take for granted. Only when is this privilege taken away do we
realize just how fortunate we were. Trying to live everyday life
without the benefit of a driver’s license can be very difficult.
Most people need a car to get to a job, or just to function
everyday.
We understand how you can get yourself in this
situation. It is hard to ask for help and if you are
depending on friends and family to transport you, they were no doubt
tiring of it too. Maybe this is why you took it upon yourself to
drive despite your suspended license.
Or maybe it wasn't your fault at all. You may
be victim to a paperwork screw up by
PennDoT, or any number of
situations where you are genuinely not at fault. Many people
never find out there license is suspended until they are pulled over
and charged with a crime.
But it's happened to you, so now you've got to
figure out a way around this problem. When facing criminal charges like this you need
an experienced defense lawyer on your side. Call us for a risk free
consultation on your license suspension case today. We can help you.
How did your license get suspended in the first place?
There are many things that can lead to a
driver’s license suspension in Pennsylvania. There are also a few
types of suspensions: court ordered and administrative.
Your license may have been suspended for:
-
DUI
-
Hit and run
- Drug possession
- Racing
- Excessive Points
- Breath test refusal
- Underage drinking
Regardless of why your license was
suspended or what type of suspension it was, you are not allowed to
drive and face additional charges if caught.
What kind of Penalties will I Face?
Driving on a suspended license is a summary
offense. You can be sentenced to serve as much as 90 days in jail
and will have a fine of at least $100. The judge may also extend
your suspension or, depending on your points, revoke it altogether.
Ref:
75 Pa.C.S.§1571
In addition to the criminal consequences, you
may face problems with auto insurance if and when your license is
reinstated. You may be seen as a “high risk” for auto insurance
companies and have to deal with high rates or uninsurability.
Facing charges for not following a directive of
the court does not look good in the eyes of a judge. Having to go in
front of a judge without an attorney on your side is a risky
proposition. An experienced attorney can argue the facts in your
favor, and challenge the system to treat you fairly, prove the case
against you beyond a reasonable doubt if necessary, and make sure
your rights and interests are protected.
