Suspended License Attorney in Montgomery County
Driving with a Suspended License
Driving with a suspended license is a potentially serious offense, especially if your license was suspended because of a prior DWI conviction. Most suspended license cases are charged as a Class C misdemeanor, which is punishable by fines of up to $500. If you are arrested for driving with a suspended license resulting from a DWI conviction, you may be charged with a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 6 months in jail.
A Montgomery County criminal defense attorney can discuss the laws pertaining to your case if you have been charged with driving on a suspended license. Reliable legal counsel is important in suspended license cases to reduce potential liabilities and possible jail time. A qualified lawyer can also help prevent the extension of your suspension period.
