Defense for driving while license revoked charges — a common but serious offense.
Driving while license revoked (DWLR) is one of the most commonly charged offenses in Wayne County — and it can create a cycle that's hard to break. A DWLR conviction can extend your revocation period, add fines, and even result in jail time for repeat offenses.
We help clients understand why their license was revoked, work to resolve the underlying issues, and defend against DWLR charges to get you back on the road legally.
Many DWLR charges stem from unresolved court obligations — unpaid fines, failure to appear, or lapsed insurance. We work to resolve these underlying issues, pursue license restoration, and defend against the DWLR charge to break the cycle.
For DWLR (non-impaired revocation), it's a Class 3 misdemeanor with up to 20 days in jail and a $200 fine. For DWLR (impaired revocation), it's a Class 1 misdemeanor with up to 120 days in jail. Repeat offenses carry higher penalties.
It depends on why it was revoked. We help clients resolve outstanding court obligations, complete required assessments, file for restoration with the NC DMV, and in some cases obtain limited driving privileges while working toward full restoration.
