Attorneys in Sugar Hill, Lawrenceville and Covington
Driving with a suspended license in Georgia carries significant risks. On the first offense, drivers face a mandatory minimum sentence of 24 hours in jail, significant fines and further suspension or revocation of their licenses for an extra six months. At our metro-Atlanta-area law firm, The Wren Law Firm, we seek to minimize the impact of this charge on our clients' lives and freedom.
Reasons for Driver's License Suspension
Drivers can have their licenses suspended for a variety of reasons. They may have been arrested for drunk driving (DUI), charged with failure to pay child support or accused of driving without insurance. It could have been suspended without the driver's knowledge because he or she did not receive a mailed renewal notification. Or they may have forgotten about a traffic ticket.
Working to Preserve Our Clients' Driving Privileges
Our lawyers work to get the charges reduced to an offense that keeps our clients out of jail such as driving with an invalid license. The stakes are particularly high if the driver is convicted of driving with a suspended license three times in five years. The penalty includes license revocation for at least five years. Jail time and fines also increase with each conviction. This makes it particularly important to reduce the first or second incident to the lower charge to prevent this from happening. Our attorneys fight hard to preserve our clients' driving privileges by seeking creative solutions.
