Getting a driver’s license is not only an important rite of passage for most teenagers or young adults, but a license also allows individuals to transport themselves to school, work, and other important obligations. According to a survey published by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, Americans spend an average of 46 minutes behind the wheel each day, which comes out to nearly 280 hours per year. In addition, many Americans drive as part of their job and, therefore, having a driver’s license is imperative.
Unfortunately, there are many different reasons that the state of New Jersey can decide to suspend your driver’s license, which can have a significant effect on your life. If you have a suspended license for any reason, you should speak to an experienced defense attorney who knows how to help you get your license back as soon as possible. The following are some questions you should ask an attorney in regard to your suspended license:
Do you have experience with my type of case?
Driver’s license suspension cases can result from a DWI, points on your license, driving without insurance, reckless driving, failing to appear in court, failing to pay child support, among many other reasons. You should be sure your attorney knows how to handle your particular type of case.
Do you understand the municipal court system?
License suspension cases are generally handled at the municipal level in NJ, which is quite different from the state court level. You want to ensure that your defense lawyer understands the municipal rules and procedures for the best results in your case.
Can you handle my case if I have been arrested for driving on a suspended license?
If you were unaware that your license has been suspended or if you simply ignored a suspended license and you were arrested for driving, your case will be more complex. You need an attorney with experience in this particular type of case.
