Los Angeles Suspended License Attorney

DUI Defense for Driving on a Suspended License

One of the inconvenient penalties of a DUI conviction is that of losing driving privileges. At the Law Offices of Robert Schwartz, the team understands that a suspended license could drastically inhibit your ability to care for you family, retain a job, and live your life normally. That is why they do their utmost to avoid a conviction by fighting tirelessly to get your charges reduced or your case dismissed.

According to the California Vehicle Code Section 14601, it is illegal to drive at any time while with a suspended or revoked license. Whether the suspension was the result of drunk driving, reckless driving, or negligent operation, they could be punished as long as there is proof that they knew about the suspension. This knowledge is presumed if a mailed notice was sent to the individual.

Penalties
For a first conviction of driving on a suspended license, the individual will be imprisoned for up to six months and be subject to a fine of up to $1,000. If a second offense occurred within five years of a previous conviction, the penalties increase. They could be put in jail for up to one year as well as pay fines of up to $2,000.
