  • Fines and Penalties:
    • Fines for driving with a suspended or revoked license can range from $250 to $500.
    • In addition to fines, you may also have to pay for reinstating your license, which can be expensive.
  • Jail Time and Probation:

    • Repeat offenders or individuals with serious violations may face longer sentences.

    • The longer you’ve been caught driving without a valid license, the harsher the penalties may be.
  • Insurance Rates:
    • A suspended or revoked license can lead to higher car insurance premiums.
    • Insurance companies see you as a higher risk, so you may have trouble finding affordable coverage.

How to Reinstate Your License After Suspension or Revocation in NY

If you’ve had your driver’s license suspended or revoked, here’s what you need to do to get it back:

  • Steps for Reinstatement:
    • First, pay any outstanding fines.
    • You may need to complete a driving course or drug/alcohol education program.
    • Submit any required paperwork to prove that you’ve fulfilled all conditions.
  • Documents Needed for Reinstatement:
    • Proof of insurance is essential to reinstate your license.
    • Payment receipts for fines and fees.
    • Course completion certificates if required by the court.
  • Timeframe for Reinstatement:
    • The reinstatement process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the nature of the offense.
  • Eligibility for Reinstatement:
    • Not everyone is eligible for immediate reinstatement. It depends on factors like the reason for the suspension and whether you’ve met all the requirements.

Defenses Against Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License

If you’ve been charged with driving with a suspended or revoked license, there are several defenses that might help your case:

  • Mistaken Identity:
    If the charges were applied to the wrong person, you can argue mistaken identity.
  • Lack of Knowledge:
    You might not have known your license was suspended, especially if you didn’t receive proper notification. This could be used as a defense.
  • Emergency Situations:
    If you were driving due to an emergency, like a medical situation, it could help your case.
  • Improper Suspension/Revocation:
    If your license was wrongfully suspended or revoked, you can challenge the charges by proving an administrative error or improper procedure.

By understanding these consequences and defenses, you can better navigate your situation and protect your rights. Always consider consulting with an attorney to help you through the process.

    "SAVED MY LICENSE"
    My lawyer helped save my license from a suspension. If I can't drive I can't work or feed my family. They were always on top of my case and helped me continue to drive for a living. I spoke with all three partners and each one knew about my case and helped each step of the way. Vanessa the manager was so helpful and didn't mind that I called every day.

    "I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it."
    I am very happy with Mr. Kron's help. He had my ticket for driving with lapsed insurance in New Jersey (1st offense, no bad driving history) dismissed, all I had to pay were $33.00 in court fees. I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it.

    "Attentive, grade A service"

    I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!

    "The best decision I made."

    I highly recommend Martin Kron & Associates. I had a great experience. A good friend recommended me to Marty last year when I received a speeding ticket in NYC. Marty knows the process extremely well, listened & answered all of my questions, and ultimately got my ticket dismissed. In addition, during the past 20 months, when I had questions regarding the adjournments and processes, all of the people in his office were extremely responsive, professional and great at answering all of my questions. Before getting the referral to Marty, I called a few other traffic law firms that I found online to possibly handle the ticket. They all sounded like ticket factories with no real service and no real people behind you. Having Marty or one of his attorneys representing you in NYC traffic court was the best decision I made and is 100% the right answer. I got a great result and felt that I had the A-team on my side. If you get a traffic ticket in NYC, I would call Martin Kron...

    "Trust me, he's your guy!!"
    I had a complicated situation with 3 tickets and was in danger of losing my licence. Martin negotiated with the prosecutor, got my tickets reduced and I was able to keep my license. If you have traffic tickets, trust me, he's your guy!!

    "Most impressed by their availability to respond to me."
    I'm glad I choose this lawyer. His professionalism and his ability to follow things up impressed me. There was always someone in the office to respond to my phone calls. Finally, they had my file up to date. I won my case, but beyond everything, I was most impressed by their availability to respond to me. Thanks!

    "If you need an Ace in the hole, he's your man!"
    Mr. Kron was on top of my case like an eagle in the treetops and kept me informed the entire time of every change as well as every possible outcome. His attention to detail, professionalism, and demeanor is UNMATCHED.

    "The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him."
    Martin Kron and his office did a wonderful job helping me with traffic tickets that were more than 3 years old!!! The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him and his professionalism. His associates in his office were very very nice, timely and helpful. He was always reachable and actually made the experiment fun... I was worried I would have to pay high fines because I had not done anything about these tickets for so many years, but because of Martin and his relationships with the courts, I really got great fines with no points added to my license!!! I forwarded his information to several of my friends because we finished so quickly. I would refer him again at any time.
