In Florida, driving while under license suspension or revocation is often treated as a criminal offense rather than a basic traffic violation. At LaBar Adams in Orlando, we know that it is also an extremely common charge faced by many people who took a risk to keep a job, help a family member or for other understandable reasons. Our focus is on identifying the best defense strategy based on your circumstances and specific goals.
Make Certain You Know the Consequences of a DWLSR Conviction
Florida laws covering driving while license suspended or revoked (DWLSR) are extremely complex, and the range of harsh penalties you could face is vast. Even a basic first offense carries potential jail time and a $500 fine. If this is not your first offense, penalties are even more severe and police have the authority to seize your vehicle. It is essential to consult a lawyer who will analyze your case and explore all options for protecting your record and future.
Critical considerations in your case may include:
- Whether a prosecutor can prove you committed this offense knowingly — or your defense lawyer can establish that you were not properly notified of your suspension or revocation
- Whether you have prior DWLSR offenses, lost your license for DUI or have been labeled a habitual traffic offender for other reasons
- Your attorney's experience and ability to present the most compelling case and negotiate effectively with prosecutors on your behalf
