Suspended License in Lynnwood
Suspended License Defense
When a person is arrested for DUI, they must schedule a DMV administrative hearing to prevent the suspension of their driver's license. Failure to schedule or attend the hearing will result in an automatic license suspension, regardless of the outcome of their criminal case. If you are arrested for driving on a suspended license, you could be facing serious penalties. Driving with a suspended license can be charged as third-degree misdemeanor; or first-degree or second-degree gross misdemeanor. A conviction in a case involving driving with a suspended license case can result in:
- Jail time
- Fines
- Increased license suspension period
You can also lose your right to drive if your insurance is cancelled; you fail to pay a parking ticket or do not keep your child support agreements.
The loss of your license can create many hardships and difficulties, particularly if you drive to work, school, or have other important commitments. If you are a commercial driver, it can event prevent you from earning a living.
