We regularly assist clients in securing the reinstatement of their driver’s license, which was suspended when the client was unable to appear at the original court date.
When a defendant fails to appear in court to answer a charge or citation, the Department of Driver’s Services (formally know as the Department of Motor Vehicles) is notified and, pursuant to O.C.G.A. 40-5-56 and/or 17-6-11, the Department of Driver’s Services suspends the Defendant’s driver’s license. Often times, the court also issues a warrant for the Defendant’s arrest for failing to appear in court.
Simply appearing in court and answering the charge or citation after the scheduled court date will not resolve this type of license suspension after the Department of Driver’s Services has acted to suspend a driver’s license.
If your driver’s license is suspended AND/OR a warrant has been issued for your arrest as a result of your failure to appear and answer a charge, we can assist in both resolving the charge and securing the reinstatement of your license. We will also seek to minimize the impact of the citation on your driving record.
If you have missed a court date or your driver’s license is in suspension because of your failure to appear, contact our office today for a free consultation.
