Habitual Offender License Restoration

Driver's License Restoration for Habitual Offenders

For many, to be classified as a habitual offender is the beginning of long-term problems. It can take months and even years to be reclassified as a non-habitual offender. During that time period, those classified as habitual offenders face a range of challenges related to driving privileges, both in Virginia and in other states.

Classification as a habitual offender most often involves multiple DUI/DWI convictions, driving with a suspended license or a combination of these charges. Per the Virginia legislature, individuals can no longer be deemed to be a habitual offender. However, the classification "sticks" for those determined habitual offenders under the old system. If you retain your classification as a habitual offender under the old system, we can help.

Are you a "habitual offender" under Virginia's driving laws? Are you struggling to be declassified, and facing difficulty getting your driver's license reinstated, either in Virginia or another state? Contact Chucker & Reibach at 804.335.0836 or 866.676.3154.

Classification as a habitual offender can lead to numerous problems. For example, further traffic violations carry much more severe penalties for those classified as habitual offenders. And, if a habitual offender moves from Virginia to another state, he or she will likely have trouble getting a driver's license there. States' computer technology now enables them to have up-to-date information, and some of our clients have been unable to get their habitual offender status removed for over 15 years.

We have successfully helped hundreds of individuals work to have their habitual offender status reclassified. We can help you determine what you need to do to get your license back, and will advise you to obtain a compliance summary form from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Most often, residents of other states do not need to return to Virginia to have driving privileges reinstated.
