Overland Park License Suspension Attorney
How a License Suspension Will Affect You
Getting your driver's license suspended can have a serious impact not only on your life, but on your livelihood as well. A license suspension can prevent you from being able to get to work, make money, pick up your children from school, go shopping for food for your family, and many other daily activities. Without a driver's license, how will you get around?
Under Kansas state law, there are various different circumstances which might result in a license suspension. If you receive three moving violations, you could have your license suspended. After three serious traffic offenses over a five-year period, such as driving without insurance, DUI, or leaving the scene of an accident, you could have your license suspended for three years.
You could be facing felony charges if you receive numerous speeding tickets and are caught driving with a suspended license. The state of Kansas has severe consequences for those who are caught driving while their license is suspended. The first conviction is considered a class B misdemeanor with an additional 90-day license suspension and up to six months in jail. If you are convicted a second time, it is considered a class A misdemeanor and you could be required to pay a $2,500 fine and serve up to a year in jail. You would also receive an extended license suspension.
Since Kansas does not have a "hardship license", which would allow you to be able to drive to and from work, go to and from school and more, it is essential that you consult with an Overland Park criminal defense attorney at our firm right away. By doing so, we will be able to rapidly review your circumstances, analyze the course of action which best suits your legal needs, and advise you of your options. Any delay could not only jeopardize your ability to legally drive, but could put your freedom at risk as well.

"I Always Felt "in the Loop""Robert was extremely responsive from day one - returning my email contact request almost immediately. He walked me through the process and answered all my questions honestly and promptly. I always felt "in the loop". I originally contacted him because he was the only Johnson County attorney I found that had listed in his advertisement, expungement, as a service he provided. Robert assisted me in doing something I didn't know was possible - finally putting a bad decision I made 14 years ago behind me. Although I appreciated his professional and respectful approach to his work, I hope I never need his services again. If I do however, I would not hesitate to call him.DWI Client

"I Would Highly Recommend Giving Robert a Call"Robert was very easy to work with. He took care of my speeding ticket for a very reasonable fee and had the ticket amended down to a non-moving violation so no points against my drivers license or insurance rate increases. If you have a speeding ticket in the KC area that needs to be dealt with, I would highly recommend giving Robert a call.Mat

"Extremely Responsive, Straight Talking Attorney That Carries Himself like None I Have Ever Used"Extremely responsive, straight talking attorney that carries himself like none I have ever used in the past. Treated me like he was providing a service, rather than doing me a favor by taking my case. Gave me his opinion of my case and his recommendation on how he would approach it but let me make the final decisions. In the end he negotiated a deal with the prosecuting attorney that was better than I thought possible. Zero jail time and minimum fines totaling $250(maximum was $2500). Now, 6 months later he was able to get all of my remaining probation time terminated for good behavior. During that time he also helped out with a lease agreement for a rental property, and a bid contract. Considering the level of service I received and the results I got, in the future I won’t use anyone else.Criminal Defense Client

"Would Highly Recommend Robert to Others"I was facing a second DUI and was very much dreading the impact this would make on my professional career and near future goals. Robert walked me through each part of the process and made sure I understood what to expect through the court process. He was very professional and made sure that no stone was turned. The end result, unbelievably was my charges were all dismissed. He was able to find an important information that lead to the dismissal. Would highly recommend Robert to others.Happy Client
