Long Island License Defense Lawyers

LONG ISLAND LICENSE DEFENSE LAWYERS

We are Spodek Law Group, a nationwide federal defense law firm created by Todd Spodek. We have a clear mission: defend clients who face license-related issues, and help them get the best possible outcome. If you are on this page, it is likely you are under investigation or have already been accused of violating certain rules that were established by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. That can lead to serious penalties, including fines and potential jail time, which can derail your future.

WHY LICENSE DEFENSE MATTERS

Any license that was granted to you in Long Island, such as a driver’s license or a professional license, can be suspended or revoked if the government believes you broke the law. This outcome can impact your ability to earn a living, which can cause you to lose financial stability. It can also negatively affect your reputation, which can lower people’s trust in you.

I’m going to be brutally honest with you: if you wait too long to act, you will hurt your chances of defending your license. This is not the time for excuses or half-measures. You need to take prompt steps to protect your livelihood, or you will face an uphill battle.

COMMON REASONS YOUR LICENSE CAN BE AT RISK

Officials who are in charge of regulating licenses may pursue disciplinary action for many reasons. Below are a few situations that can put your license at risk:

• Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), which may lead to possible revocation
• Accumulating too many points on your driving record, which might trigger a suspension
• Using forged documents that were falsified, which could end in criminal prosecution
• Violating professional regulations that were created by licensing boards, which can cost you your career

Each situation carries unique punishments. For instance, a DWI conviction can carry criminal penalties, which might result in fines and even time in jail. If you rely on driving for work, you can lose your job the moment your license is revoked. That can create serious financial hardship.

POTENTIAL CRIMINAL PENALTIES

If you are accused of committing a license-related crime, you can face harsh penalties. Money laundering, for example, can lead to federal charges that were brought by the U.S. Department of Justice. If you are found guilty, you face potential prison time, which can separate you from your family and eliminate your ability to earn an income.

There are other consequences as well. A permanent criminal record that was linked to license violations can stop you from obtaining new licenses in the future. That can shut down your career path and tarnish your personal standing. I’m not here to scare you; I’m here to tell you the truth. If you ignore these issues, it only gets worse.

OUR DEFENSE STRATEGIES

We focus on finding legal and factual flaws in the allegations against you. For example, evidence that was improperly handled by law enforcement may be suppressed, which can reduce the prosecutor’s ability to prove guilt. Once the government’s evidence is weakened, the state may drop or reduce charges, which can save you from life-changing consequences like losing your license or serving jail time.

We also investigate every step in your case. If a stop that was conducted by the police was not legal, then any statements you made during that stop can be challenged. That strategy often leads to dismissals, which means you keep a clean record. We are aggressive. We do not tolerate excuses from prosecutors, and we do not settle for half-baked deals.

We are not afraid to fight for you in court. If it is the only way to protect your license, we will take your case before a judge or jury. Our goal is clear: keep you free, keep your record as clean as possible, and preserve your ability to work.

For information on how New York courts handle license-related cases, you can visit the official New York Courts website. This resource can give you an overview of how the legal system works, but it does not replace having a defense firm on your side.
