Driving with a suspended license
In Ohio, we all know that a car is essential in order to get from one place to another since public transportation is lacking in so many respects. If you have a job that is not exactly next door, like most of us, then the ability to drive becomes a necessity. Because of this and other factors, when people get into the kind of trouble that causes a judge to suspend their license, life becomes a lot harder than it used to be. More problems often follow because people in this situation sometimes continue to drive despite having a suspended license.

Penalties
If you are caught driving with a suspended license you will be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor that can result in up to 6 months in jail with a fine of up to $1000. These penalties are meant to deter individuals from committing further offenses, but if you do, things can get worse and you can even end up losing your license for years.

Possible defense methods
At Kruger & Hodges, our attorneys have extensive experience from representing clients who are facing charges related to motor vehicle offenses and will use all of this accumulated experience to your favor. Among the ways that we can defend you is by questioning the legality of the suspension in the first place. We can question whether the initial traffic stop was legal or made without justification. We can call certain other evidence or the lack thereof into question. We will employ these and other methods to protect your rights in court. Rest assured that we are on your side and will fight as hard as we have to for you!
