The Missouri Department of Revenue is the state agency with the power to not only issue a driver’s license but also suspend or revoke driving privileges. A person’s license can be suspended for varying periods of time, but such periods of suspension generally range from 30 to 90 days. Revocation of a driver’s license is generally for one year, but the Missouri Department of Revenue may refuse to re-issue a driver’s license for much longer periods of time.
If you are facing a driver’s license suspension, turn to attorney Scott Hamblin. He is an experienced criminal lawyer and a partner in the law firm Brydon, Swearengen & England P.C., with vast experience handling a range of criminal matters for clients in and around the Jefferson City, Missouri area.
Suspension and revocation of a driver’s license may occur for a variety of reasons, including the following:
Driving privileges may be suspended or revoked for accumulation of points following a plea of guilty or conviction for the criminal offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI/DUI). Additionally, driving privileges may also be suspended or revoked by the Missouri Department of Revenue. Scott is familiar with criminal laws and regulations to provide you with professional and thorough legal representation. He has elected to share some of his knowledge regarding the loss of driving privileges.
The Missouri Department of Revenue assesses points to criminal driving offenses following a guilty plea or conviction. Accumulation of points following criminal driving offenses may result in a suspension or revocation of driving privileges. A suspension of driving privileges may be as little as 30 days up to a one-year revocation for driving privileges. Scott has represented hundreds of clients for driving-related offenses in successfully avoiding the assessment of points. An inherent danger in simply paying a ticket is that points tend to accumulate so that a person may eventually face mandatory jail time for driving on a suspended or revoked driver’s license. While a person might be eligible for a limited driving privilege in certain circumstances, a person’s driver record may render the person ineligible.
If you have questions or need assistance with any driving offense or any other criminal law matter, contact Scott Hamblin’s law office today. He will take the time to fully explain how the criminal “system” works, including criminal procedure, details of the criminal laws relevant to your case, and a realistic idea of what you should expect in your criminal or driving case.
A Jefferson City man faced DUI charges following a field sobriety test. Charges against the defendant were dropped after Scott successfully maintained the client’s claims that the test results were inaccurate. While the client initially appeared to be in a difficult situation, Scott was able to push investigators to determine the sobriety test results as invalid, so the charges were dismissed.
A client from Fulton was accused of drug possession as a result of a home search. While drug charges may potentially be filed as a Class C felony involving severe consequences, Scott was able to help the client receive a reduced sentence. Ultimately, the client faced significantly smaller penalties compared to the initial charges.
One client sought legal assistance after an altercation with another individual in Jefferson City. The client was arrested on assault charges despite allegedly not starting the fight. Since an arrest can lead to life-altering penalties such as being terminated from employment and serving jail time, Scott was able to build a solid legal defense in the client’s favor and argued in favor of the client’s innocence.
