At Alers Law Firm, we have the expertise to defend you against driving with a suspended license charge of varying severities, including:
First Violation (Second-Degree Misdemeanor): If you didn’t know your license was suspended, you could face up to 60 days in jail and/or up to $500 in fines.
Second or Subsequent Violations (First-Degree Misdemeanor): A second offense can lead to up to 1 year in jail and/or up to $1,000 in fines. If you have multiple violations, a minimum of 10 days in jail is mandatory.
Third-Degree Felony: If your license was suspended due to DUI, serious traffic offenses, or fleeing the scene, you could face up to 5 years in prison and/or up to $5,000 in fines.
If your license has been permanently revoked, driving on a Florida highway is a third-degree felony with similar penalties.
