Criminal Defense for Driving with a Suspended License in Reading, PA
Facing Criminal Charges for Driving on a Suspended License? We Can Help.
Driving with a suspended license in Pennsylvania is more than just a traffic ticket; it can escalate into a criminal offense with severe consequences, particularly if your license was suspended due to a DUI or another serious violation. Penalties can include hefty fines, extended suspension periods, and even potential jail time, depending on the circumstances of your case.
Facing criminal charges for driving on a suspended license in Reading can be overwhelming, but having experienced legal representation makes all the difference. At Emkey Law Firm, we’re dedicated to guiding you through the legal process, safeguarding your rights, and crafting a strong defense to minimize the impact on your life.
Understanding the Charge
It’s important to distinguish between administrative license issues and criminal charges. Our firm does not handle license reinstatement or appeals with PennDOT, such as those involving unpaid parking tickets or point accumulation.
We focus on defending individuals facing criminal charges under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1543, such as:
- Driving under suspension – DUI-related
- Repeat offenses of driving while suspended
- Driving without a valid license after a revocation
These offenses carry serious consequences, such as mandatory jail sentences, substantial fines, prolonged license suspensions, and permanent additions to your criminal record.
Why Legal Representation Matters
A conviction for driving while your license is suspended, especially for a DUI-related suspension, can have long-term consequences. Even a first offense can result in mandatory jail time and additional license issues. Attorney Daniel Emkey works to reduce or eliminate jail time, minimize fines, and explore alternatives where possible.
Some individuals may not realize their license is still suspended, while others may have been driving out of necessity or during an emergency. Our defense strategies focus on providing crucial context to your case and challenging any weak or unjust charges brought against you.
