DWLR In North Carolina - "Driving While License Revoked"
At McCoppin and Associates, our law firm has helped hundreds of people get their suspended driver's licenses reinstated. We are ready to help you do the same!
Driving while license revoked (DWLR) is not only a traffic violation but can also lead to a criminal charge resulting in a criminal record. An infraction that is aggravated by impaired driving could result in a class 1 misdemeanor, and this class 1 misdemeanor will be on your permanent record.
The court can send you to jail and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will suspend your drivers license for an additional year for each DWLR conviction. You need an experienced attorney to keep you out of jail and get you driving legally.
Don't Listen To The DMV!
Often, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) gives bad advice. The DMV may tell you to pay off your old traffic ticket so you can get your license back. Paying off a ticket means pleading guilty to the violation. Every time you plead guilty to a moving violation while your driver's license was suspended, the DMV will suspend your driver's license for another 1 to 3 years for another DWLR.
Call An Attorney Before You Plead!
You may need an attorney to resolve your old traffic tickets for driving with a suspended license without pleading you guilty to avoid these additional DMV license suspensions. One strategy is to negotiate a guilty plea for a non-moving violation.
Another approach is to negotiate a guilty plea to a violation that occurred while your driver's license was active.
A third option is to request a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC) which might be the best thing to keep the DMV from extending your license suspension.
We will review your driving record for free to develop a strategy to get your revoked license or suspended license reinstated as soon as possible. We can get your driving record for a modest fee.
