In Florida, driving while your driver's license is suspended, revoked, canceled or disqualified is a crime ranging from a simple moving violation to a serious felony, depending on the circumstances. It can negatively affect your insurance rates as well. A suspension can be the result of a DUI/BUI, too many traffic tickets, too many unpaid tickets, unpaid civil judgments and many other problems, some of which are not related to driving. A Fort Lauderdale driving while license suspended defense attorney can help you resolve these underlying problems, and sometimes help get you a valid license.

In cases where you did not realize your license was suspended, you may only be charged with a civil misdemeanor, which is not a crime. A competent South Florida driving while license suspended criminal defense lawyer can help you prove this, if necessary, to prosecutors, juries and judges. If you knowingly drove while your license was suspended, you can be charged with a criminal misdemeanor, which rises to a felony on the third offense.
