Suspended Driver's License Lawyer Philadelphia

Serving Bucks County, Northeast Philadelphia, & Montgomery County

If PennDOT has suspended your license, or you've received a notice saying a suspension is coming, you may have more options than you think. A Philadelphia suspended license lawyer can look at why the suspension was issued, challenge it where there are grounds to, and help you get back behind the wheel as soon as the law allows.

The first step is simple: don't put that notice in a drawer. You have only 30 days from the mailing date on the PennDOT notice to file an appeal, so keep it handy when you call us, and we'll walk you through where you stand.

Most of us take the privilege of driving for granted while relying on it for an array of daily activities. Being unable to drive is impractical for many of us; it is usually our way to work, school, shopping, and so many other necessities of life.

The problem is that, regardless of how necessary it is for most of us to drive, there is no unqualified legal right to drive. Indeed, driving is a privilege that should be respected.

This privilege depends on our ability to demonstrate that we can drive safely and follow the rules that come with a license, and when PennDOT takes that privilege away, you have the right to push back.

Driver's License Suspension Reasons

Here are reasons why the Department of Transportation (DOT) issues Driver's License Suspensions. Some of them include, but are not limited to:

• Accumulation of too many points on your driver's license
• Failure to Pay Court-Ordered Child Support
• Ignoring Traffic Tickets and/or Parking Violations
• Leaving the Scene of a Car Accident ("Hit and Run")
• Drag or Street Racing
• Failure to Stop for a School Bus
• Felony convictions related to your use of a vehicle
• Drunk Driving/DUI conviction
• Conviction of Homicide by Vehicle

Our Philadelphia lawyers for driver's license restoration will fight to minimize the penalties associated with these matters and work to help you regain your driving privileges.

If you already have your Driver's License Suspended or are facing the possibility of a future suspended license for any reason, you should contact a license restoration lawyer from the law offices of Velter Yurovsky Zoftis Sokolson, LLC for a free initial consultation.

With the legal advice of our Philadelphia, PA, attorney specializing in suspended license issues, it is often possible for clients to retain or regain their ability to drive.

It may be possible to discredit the original traffic violations for which the license suspension was issued or reduce your penalties through a favorable negotiation. Additionally, in cases where the suspension was issued because of excessive points accruing on your license, you may be eligible for enrollment in the Driver Improvement Program. Completing this program may reduce points to the threshold at which a suspension will no longer be issued.

Even when it is not immediately possible to avoid a driver's license suspension, it is important to minimize the suspension duration and understand the implications of your suspension and all of your additional options, including such programs as a limited occupational license.

Furthermore, at the law offices of Velter Yurovsky Zoftis Sokolson, LLC, our law firm can help you minimize or avoid the impact of any other penalties, including fines, surcharges, points, and, in some cases, jail time, because of traffic violations which caused the License Suspension.

Driving With A Suspended License

Do not drive if your license has been suspended. We understand it may be immensely inconvenient and impractical for most people in Philadelphia, PA, to live without driving for any considerable time.

Being stopped for driving with a Suspended License will not only increase the original penalty, adding time to license suspensions and incurring fines, but may even result in possible jail time.
