Driver License Suspension Lawyer

Most people often forget that driving is not a right but a privilege. The only way to maintain the privilege is by complying with the traffic laws. There are various reasons why a driver might have their driver license suspended. The suspension period can either be definite or indefinite.

Definite Suspension Order

Definite suspensions indicate the longevity of your suspension. You are not allowed to drive during this period; a termination fee is expected from you to acquire a valid license again. Definite suspensions can be issued due to several reasons including:

• Conviction of drugged or alcohol driving charge

• Lack of automobile liability insurance

• Failure to obey junior driver’s rules

• Receiving numerous traffic tickets over a particular time frame

Indefinite Suspension Order

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.

Indefinite suspensions do not end until the required action is taken. You may get an indefinite suspension for the following reasons:

• Defaulting on automobile liability insurance

• Failure to pay your child support

• Unpaid state tax debts

• Non-payment of traffic ticket fine

• Failure of filing a motor vehicle accident report

If you do not respond to an out-of-state driving violation, the New York state DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) suspend your New York license unless the violation happened in Wisconsin, Montana, Oregon, Alaska, Michigan or California. This also applies to non-NY residents who do not respond to their NYS traffic ticket. If you have cleared your traffic ticket fees but your suspension does not reflect as terminated on your driving record, kindly contact the NY state DMV for assistance.

In some cases, the driver is eligible for a limited license application. In other cases, it is possible to beat the suspension altogether. The restricted license gives you the ability to drop kids to day-care or school and pick them up, drive for school or work and drive for healthcare and license-related business. If your license was revoked for driving under the influence, you are only allowed to apply for a limited license if you are part of a Drinking Driver Program that is certified by the New York state.

You risk facing an extended license suspension, hefty fines, or a jail time when you get pulled over driving under suspension. Risking more penalties causes more financial and personal devastation in the long run. How will you run your errands, go to work, or take the kids to wherever? To reinstate a driver’s license can be a lengthy process. However, a driver license suspension lawyer will help you keep your driving privilege.

The legal process varies with the reason for a suspension. However, there is basically a rule for any violation. Never plead guilty before consulting a lawyer! If convicted, you automatically have a permanent criminal record. This will only make the case complicated. It may lead to additional points to your driver’s license or increase the fines. The DMV or the criminal court will notify on the amount payable regarding your suspension.

With the vast knowledge in criminal defense, your lawyer will identify the weak points in your case. They will defend you against the state and represent you at DMV. A driver license suspension lawyer knows the arguments to make the questions to ask through the case. Putting it bluntly, your driver license suspension lawyer will, by all means, minimize your time off the driver’s seat.

Before hiring a law firm/lawyer, be sure to talk to the attorney assigned your case. Your attorney is likely to advise you on your next move. Ensure you ask all the questions and bring all the documentation that is case related. This will help you know what to consult with your lawyer. Be sure to inquire about:

• Requirements for reinstating your license

• The minimum time possible for you to drive again

• Your appealing or contesting options

Keep in mind that you are still under the law even after reinstating your driver’s license. Be keen to keep your record clean to avoid losing your license again. Avoid distracted driving and focus on the road. Remember, a suspended license calls for higher insurance rates. You may consider taking a state-approved course to reduce your mandatory insurance rates as well as your points. Frequent offenders risk a jail time sentence.
