Representation in Pinellas County for License Suspensions
A significant number of crimes or traffic infractions in Florida can lead to license suspension, sometimes to the surprise of drivers. Situations under which you can lose your driving privileges include:
- Failure to appear in court for a traffic ticket
- Being charged with a DUI
- Possession of marijuana or other narcotics
- Failure to pay child support
- Failure to pay fines such as parking tickets
- Inability to pay for insurance
- Being caught as a juvenile in possession of alcohol
Multiple arrests for driving on a suspended license and DUI can result in a habitual suspension for five years. Subsequent arrests for driving on a habitual suspension can be treated as a felony. If you are notified that you are facing a habitual suspension, it is very important that you contact an attorney that can look at the reason for that suspension. The firm of R.

Understanding License Suspension
A traffic stop that leads to a DWLSR or a charge of driving on a suspended license can result in either a criminal charge or a lesser traffic infraction. Many people who receive only the infraction charge choose just to pay the ticket without realizing that by doing so, they are admitting guilt and putting a strike on their record towards habitual suspension.
