Has your driver's license been suspended?  Unpaid traffic tickets, alcohol and drug violations, vehicular homicide, and speed contest are a few of the reasons of why the DMV may suspend your license.

Types of Suspension:

  • Indefinite Suspension - If you fail to respond to a court summons, pay a fine, or file an accident report, the NY DMV may enforce an indefinite suspension.  There is no pre-determined date to end your suspension.  This means that you need to take action in order to have your license reinstated.  Our attorneys can offer you advice on how to best get back out on the roads.
  • Definite License Suspension - There is a clear end date with definite suspension.  This means that you will be required to wait out the suspension period.  Once the suspension period has passed, you can pay termination fees and have your driver's license reinstated.
  • Traffic Accident License Suspensions - If you are involved in an auto accident that results inn damage that amounts to more than $1,001, you need to file a report with the DMV 10 days after the accident.  If you fail to do so, you will have your license suspended. 
  • Out-of-State Ticket Suspensions - If you fail to respond to an out-of-state moving violation, your license will be suspended until you resolve the issues.  Our attorneys can help represent you in court and make sure that your license is reinstated.
