Defense to Driving on a Suspended License

In Michigan, the penalties for driving with a suspended license are severe. They range from a doubling of the length of the initial suspension, fines and driver’s responsibility fees, all the way to substantial incarceration. Still, some people drive on a suspended or revoked license-sometimes because they feel they have no other choice. With Watt Law Firm, P.C. at your side, you can have other options.

Rather than taking the risk of jail time or other serious consequences, if your driver’s license has been suspended or revoked you should immediately discuss your situation with a Michigan attorney who has successfully handled matters in front of the Secretary of State’s Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD). While the attorneys at Watt Law Firm, P.C. can help you get your license reinstated, they can also help defend you against charges of driving on a suspended license (DWLS) or driving on a revoked license (DWLR).

Police officers and prosecutors can make mistakes, and people are sometimes justified in driving on a suspended license. Our attorneys will analyze your case to determine the answers to the following questions and to understand your circumstances:

Were you improperly stopped by the police?
Did an officer mishandle your arrest (for example, not informing you of your rights)?
Did the prosecutor file incorrect charges?
Had you been given proper notice that your license was suspended?
Were you forced to drive because of a family emergency or other type of emergency that might justify your driving on a suspended license?
In many circumstances, the attorneys at Watt Law Firm, P.C. may be able to get your driving privileges restored, reduce the suspension period, or have the charges against you either reduced or dropped altogether. Factors that may influence the chances of charges being reduced include:

the reason for the initial suspension of your license
the outcome of your driving on a suspended license (i.e. whether or not you caused an accident or property damage)
any prior convictions you might have for driving while on a suspended or revoked license
