Columbia License Suspension Attorneys

Missouri Driver's License Suspension

A Missouri driver's license suspension or revocation automatically follows a DWI arrest or conviction. The length of the Missouri driver's license suspension or revocation will depend on the circumstances of your case. If you are a first-time offender, your license will be suspended for 90 days. If you refuse to take a breath test, your license may be suspended for a year. For repeat DWI offenders, loss of driving privileges can range from a year to 30 years. If you are found driving during the period of your suspension or revocation, you may be facing serious consequences. That is the time to turn to an attorney well-versed in criminal and DWI law who will protect your rights and seek better legal options on your behalf.

Driving on a Suspended or Revoked License

Driving on a suspended license is generally charged as a misdemeanor as follows:

• First convictions as Class A misdemeanors are punishable by a fine of up to $300.
• Second convictions or third convictions are punishable by up to a year of jail time and a fine of up to $1,000.

Drivers with previous DWI convictions or drivers with four or more offenses of this nature will likely face Class D felony charges. These are punishable by up to four years in prison and a potential fine of up to $5,000. You will also face the future with a permanent criminal record which can negatively impact various aspects of your life such as career and educational opportunities.
