Driving on Suspended License/Driving without a License

Driving on a Suspended License/Driving Without a License

Charges of driving on a suspended license, or driving without a license, carry serious penalties if you are convicted. Driving without a license, even as a first offense, can bring an additional loss of any driving privileges you might have recovered prior to losing your license, and a fine of up to $1,500. A second offense can bring twice the consequences.

Driving on a suspended license is a jailable misdemeanor in Virginia, with fines and further losses of driving privileges. A third offense brings a mandatory minimum 10-day jail sentence.

In order to be convicted of driving on a suspended license, you must have actual notice of the suspension. Often, drivers did not receive proper notice. We may show you did not receive proper notice, and that your charges should be dropped. We can also argue to have prior convictions disqualified, thus greatly reducing the penalties for your charges.

Have You Experienced Difficulty Obtaining a Driver's License?

Since the Patriot Act, immigrants have had difficulty obtaining U.S. driver's licenses. Often we can argue that a valid driver's license issued in a foreign country precludes conviction of driving without a driver's license in the U.S., particularly if you have only been in the country a short time.
