Suspended License Offenses and Restoration of Driving Privileges

There are many offenses in Virginia related to individuals accused of driving while their licenses are suspended or revoked. These cases usually stem from individuals who had previous charges such as DUIs or reckless driving where part of their punishment was the suspension of their driver’s license. These cases also stem from individuals who have multiple driving-related convictions and are labeled “habitual offenders.” It is important to realize that these charges are often very serious in nature since they can be both felonies and misdemeanor offenses, and these offenses often carry mandatory or additional penalties for multiple convictions. Aggressive and competent legal representation can be a tremendous asset in avoiding the serious consequences of a conviction for driving with a suspended or revoked license or driving after having been declared a habitual offender. Whitbeck & Cisneros’ attorneys have extensive experience in these cases and are successful in achieving favorable outcomes for our clients.

In addition, many individuals are forced to go to court to get their driving privileges restored once their punishment for past criminal convictions is finished. Many times prosecutors, probation officers and alcohol rehabilitation programs will attempt to block individuals from resuming the privilege to drive. Our firm’s attorneys are experienced in these cases and will aggressively pursue the restoration of our clients’ driving privileges when needed.
