Suspensions

The Department of Motor Vehicles has the power to take away or suspend your privilege to drive.   If your privilege is suspended and you continue to drive, you are subject to arrest and can be charged with a crime.   

If your license is suspended, do you know why or what to do about it?   Contact the law offices of Jeanne Marie Beckmann, P.C. for the answers.
