Virginia Attorney: Driving on a Suspended License
When you are accused of driving on a suspended license, there are three things that a prosecutor must prove. The first is that you were actually driving. The second is that the license was actually suspended. The third, and often most difficult to prove, is that you had notice that your license was suspended.
The reality is that many people in Virginia drive on a suspended license every day without realizing it. At The Law Office of Pierre Priale, PLLC, in Alexandria, I provide traffic violation defense for a wide range of clients based on the experience gained by handling more than 1,500 cases.
Fighting to Protect Clients
In Virginia you have 15 days to pay your ticket. If you don't pay or you forget to pay, the court will instruct the DMV to suspend your license, potentially leading to a misdemeanor conviction, expensive fines and an even longer license suspension.
Working as your lawyer, I help you work to get charges reduced and in some cases even restore your driving rights. I handle suspended license cases involving:
- DUI
- Reckless driving
- Failure to pay fines and/or court costs
- Suspension by DMV for accumulation of demerit points
It can be a difficult decision for people to choose between getting to work and obeying the law. You have better options than simply taking the risk of driving on a suspended or revoked license. Get in contact with my office and I can help you find a better answer.
