People tend to take their driver's license for granted until they no longer have it. Getting life's daily errands and obligations suddenly becomes much more difficult without a driver's license, which often leads to people driving without a license and hoping not to get caught. If you have been cited for driving with a suspended or revoked license, it is important to speak to an experienced Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids suspended license lawyer.

At Willis Law, we can explain your rights and inform you of all available defense options if you have been ticketed for driving while suspended or driving while revoked. We will be your strongest advocate, guiding you to the best possible outcome no matter how difficult your situation may seem now.

Top Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids Suspended License Defense

A single speeding infraction might not seem like a big deal at first, but over time violations can add up to big consequences down the road. Accumulated traffic offenses can eventually lead to suspension or revocation, which could lead to charges for driving with a suspended license. This results in a wide range of new legal challenges that must be addressed, particularly if you rely upon your license as part of your job (commercial drivers).

Our Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids suspended license lawyers understand the importance of challenging any and all traffic violations. There is no risk in doing so, especially when you consider the long-term impact to which additional violations could have.

Understanding License Violations in Michigan

If caught driving with a suspended, revoked or denied license, a driver could be punished with a fine of up to $500 and/or 93 days in jail. Subsequent offenses can carry even harsher penalties such as:

• $1,000 fine and/or one year in jail for a second offense
• Additional suspension, confiscation of license plates, 90 to 180 days of vehicle immobilization for a third or fourth offense
• Additional suspension, license plate confiscation, one to three years of vehicle immobilization for a fifth offense

Drivers will also be ordered to pay a $500 driver responsibility fee for two consecutive years as a result of any DWLS offense.
