simply put this is a charge where a lot
of innocent people get wrongly accused
fortunately here the Shouse Law Group we
have a great record of success on
getting these charges either reduced or
dismissed one of the most common
defenses to a driving with a suspended
license charge is that you do not know
that your license was suspended now
maybe you didn't receive the notice in
the mail or it was sent to an old
address or maybe you weren't actually
advised by an officer or a judge that
your license was suspended in these
cases you can assert the defense of lack
of knowledge to prevent you from being
convicted of driving with a suspended
license another common defense in a
driving on a suspended license case is
that the suspension itself was invalid
so for example maybe the DMV had
suspended your license for failing to
pay a traffic ticket when in reality you
really did pay it or maybe your
suspension was supposed to have elapsed
and your license renewed but the DMV had
a clerical error and never actually
renewed it if we can show that the
underlying suspension was invalid we can
almost always get this charge dismissed
another way that we defend the charge of
driving on a suspended license is by
establishing that the officer did not
have probable cause to stop you in the
first place in which case we can bring
what we call a suppression motion in
court to exclude any evidence that
flowed from the stop if the judge grants
our motion the charges are usually
dismissed
