Common Consequences of Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License

Driving with a suspended or revoked license in New York can lead to serious consequences. Here’s a breakdown of what you could face:

  • 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:
    • If convicted, you could face up to 30 days in jail or probation.
    • Repeat offenders or individuals with serious violations may face longer sentences.
  • Increased Suspension Periods:
    • Repeated offenses may result in longer suspension periods.
    • 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.

    "He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."
    Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.

    "I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything."
    I had 3 cell phone violations within 18 months, which by law subjects me to license suspension. Mr. Kron and I deferred our case 4 times which is the maximum. When we finally decided to plead me guilty, Mr. Kron did everything within his power to reason with the judge for leniency-and he succeeded!! I was found guilty, have to pay a fine, but will be able to keep on driving which is extremely important for me to maintain my lifestyle. Most importantly, during this process, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Kron was immediate in his responses to my inquiries----almost replying to my texts before I hit send!! I cannot thank this man enough... I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything. He did an absolutely wonderful job for me. One final thought. You know how you read about or see about everything else that works for other people but never works for you? This is a case where this guy was an angel and delivered me the best possible outcome. I am a very lucky man today because of Mr. Kron.

    "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.

    "Very professional and quick."
    I'm happy to say today my wife was able to finally get her new license plates for NJ after the NY suspension was completely wiped from her record. Amazing turnaround. I like their no-nonsense approach.

    "He was always calm and patient with me."
    Martin is absolutely the best at what he does! He helped me from beginning to end with an improper cell phone use ticket. He made himself available for me consistently and returned my calls if he wasn't able to speak. He explained things in detail and answered all my questions. I literally bugged this man with questions because of my anxiety and he was always calm and patient with me. On the date of my court hearing, I walk right in and right out as he tells me I got your case dismissed. I had the biggest smile on my face and I was certainly relieved. Hands down he is an excellent communicator and is surely effective! Thank you, Martin!

    "So personable and nice."
    When I called the Firm I was very hesitant in even hiring an attorney but after speaking with the attorney I felt very comfortable in my decision in hiring an attorney. I had a reckless driving summons in NY and the attorney Lindsay Kron met me at court. She was so personable and nice. She was able to have my summons reduced to a no point no criminal violation with a minimal fine. This Firm is amazing and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them in the future.
