Coastal Virginia Driver’s License Restoration Lawyers

Looking to Restore Your Driving Privileges? We Can Help.

If your driver's license was revoked or disqualified because of a third DUI conviction or felony DUI, the restoration of your driving privileges is not automatic. After the revocation period ends, you must apply to have your driver's license restored. The process is not always easy, as it requires that you petition the Circuit Court, collect a Compliance Summary, be evaluated by VASAP, and attend a hearing where the prosecutor may oppose your restoration.. If you don't complete each step and submit the necessary documents timely and accurately, the judge may deny your request.

What's the Process for Restoring My Driver's License?

To work toward reinstating your driving privileges, you must request a Compliance Summary from the DMV. The report contains a list of all requirements you must complete before your driver's license will be restored. You may have to satisfy one or several conditions. Our Coastal Virginia lawyers can review the Summary with you and help you determine what your next steps should be.

After you get your Compliance Summary and have an understanding of how to proceed, you must ensure that you meet all requirements.

That may mean you must:

• Petition the appropriate Circuit Court
• Be evaluated by VASAP and complete recommended treatment
• Defend your freedom to drive in a court hearing

The above are just a few examples. You may have other requirements to satisfy.

How Much Does It Cost to Reinstate My Driver's License in Virginia?

Several different issues can result in a driver's license revocation. For instance, you may have lost your privileges because you were convicted of driving while intoxicated or refusing a breath or blood test.

The cost to reinstate your driver's license depends on the reason it was revoked. Typically, reinstatement fees range from $45 to $120.

What Happens If I Drive While My Driver's License Is Revoked?

In Virginia, it's unlawful for a person to drive on a suspended, revoked, or disqualified driver's license. If you engage in such conduct, you could be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor. A conviction may result in up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,500.

Rather than risk facing severe penalties for driving while your driver's license is suspended, get skilled legal help from our team at Tillotson & Martin. We can work toward getting you lawfully back on the road as quickly as possible.
