What Is A Suspended Driver’s License?
Perhaps one of the worst things that could happen when you are stopped by an officer is to find out that your driver’s license is suspended. There are several reasons as to why this might occur. Most of the time, you’re alerted to this change so that you can plan accordingly instead of driving. However, if the insurance company or DMV office is unable to contact you, then there is a chance that you won’t know that your license is suspended until you’re stopped. A suspension doesn’t mean that your license is revoked. It simply means that there is a certain length of time that the license isn’t active. You will need to complete the proper steps in order for the license to be reinstated so that you can legally drive.
One of the variations of a suspended license is that it’s definite. You’re given a specific time frame for the license to be inactive, and if you’ve paid the required fines and performed the other requirements, then the suspension is lifted. On the other hand, an indefinite suspension means that it won’t be activated again until there is some kind of action that takes place on your part. There are also times when a review board will indefinitely suspend your license if you have a medical condition or if you fail to pay child support that is court ordered. If you’re caught driving with a suspended license, then there are more fines you have to worry about and the possibility that your license will be revoked. A revocation means that you will be unable to get a license again until you contact the DMV and plead your case to them.
What Are Reasons For A License To Be Suspended?
A common reason for your license to be suspended is because of the number of points that you have accumulated. There is a system in most states that involves assigning a certain number of points to each offense that is committed while driving. When you have reached a certain number of points on your license, then it will be suspended or revoked. This kind of suspension usually only lasts for a specified length of time, and as long as you have no more points, then your license will be reinstated.
If you are a habitual offender, which means that you continue to make the same offenses while driving, then your license will usually be suspended. You might be ordered to attend classes or pay fines in order for the license to be reinstated. Most offenses need to occur within a designated period of time, such as 12 months, in order for you to be considered a habitual offender.
If you are looking for a lawyer that listens, is aggressive where needed, and holds his word above all else, Todd is the best pick. I had hired multiple attorneys prior to hiring the Spodek Group for a white collar case. The first thing that stood out to me was the cost, as anyone going through the process and dealing with the system, money was tight at that time - especially after hiring and firing multiple lawyers. The cost was not as high as others which was definitely a plus. Todd's intake process was also unlike other attorneys. He took the time to actually listen. He cared. He was trying to put himself in my shoes while I was explaining the situation to him and he really took the time to understand the whole situation. Other lawyers will give you 15 mins and send you a retainer agreement. Not Todd, I think he spent almost two hours with me as I was explaining everything.Not only was he great during the onboarding process, he was supportive and very informative through the entire plea process and eventually sentencing. After hiring him, I asked if I should hire a prison consultant, he told me to save my money as he would do everything they would. He was right and held up to his word. Later on I would hear from others that went with the prison consultants that they were a waste of money - I am glad I listened to Todd!When it came time for sentencing, two days prior to sentencing, the prosecutor tried increasing my proposed prison time by almost double - apparently a normal move. Todd and his team worked with me non-stop through the weekend prior to sentencing to ensure that I was not given additional prison time. Again, he took the time to listen and came up with a strategy to explain the case with great detail.Unfortunately, I did plead guilty as that was my best option. Todd and his whole team wrote up nearly 300 pages of a summary of what happened and why I should not be given prison time. If I breakdown the amount I spent with Todd versus the amount of work that I saw being done, I am shocked I was not charged four times as much. The other benefit was, a lot of criminal defense lawyers were just a single attorney with a paralegal or two. Todd had a team of people that I dealt with (5-7 people that I interacted with), but he was ALWAYS accessible. It would never take him more than an hour to reply unless he was in court.I was sentenced to prison and I was emotionally distraught. Todd and his team did whatever they could even after sentencing to make sure I was alright. He personally stayed in touch with my family to ensure I was doing alright and offered support to them. Most lawyers would consider the job complete at sentencing, not Todd.After prison, Todd still spent time with me to make sure I was on the right track and avoiding any potential risks in the future. He has also been giving advice on how to navigate probation etc and has not been looking at the clock for billing.Although I wish I had never been arrested in the first place, I am glad I had Todd and his team in my corner. Without them I likely would have had to spend a lot more time in prison than I did.Thank you, Todd, and the entire Spodek Law team, for helping turn what was a nightmare into a manageable situation!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence.Thank you team!
I recently had Spodek Law Group represent me for a legal matter in NYC and I am thoroughly impressed with their services.Alex Zhik secured the best possible outcome for my case.It was a seamless journey from the initial consultation to the resolution of my legal matter. From the moment I spoke to Todd about my case, his enthusiasm to help was evident, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The efficiency and professionalism displayed by the team is commendable.A particularly noteworthy aspect of their service is their user-friendly portal to upload your documents/evidence. This not only simplified the process, but showcases their commitment to streamline the client experience.Lastly, in an industry where legal fees can often be a concern, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, making needing legal assistance feel accessible and stress-free.I am grateful for their support and wouldn't hesitate to turn to them again in the future.
There are a few issues that are serious in nature that result in a license suspension. These issues often result in an immediate suspension instead of a graduated time frame where you are given a few chances to stop violating driving laws before your license is suspended. One issue is a DWI or DUI. If you’re involved in any kind of felony while driving, then your license is usually suspended right away. Leaving an accident scene or fleeing the police are other circumstances when the license will be suspended without question. With these issues, it’s sometimes harder to have your license reinstated.
If you are caught driving without insurance, then there is a possibility that your license will be suspended. However, some states do allow for a grace period to show that you have a current insurance policy and that there have been no accidents while driving with no insurance. At times, you might not know that your insurance has been canceled, which is why there is usually a short period of time to get the issue taken care of before the license is suspended.
If your license is suspended, then you want to talk to an attorney who can help with getting it active as soon as possible. When you meet with the attorney, take any documents or receipts that show proof of payments made or issues that have been corrected so that they can be turned in to the proper authorities. Your attorney can go before the judge to ask that your license is reinstated because of the actions that you have taken.
