St. Augustine Suspended License Ticket Attorney

In 2013 over 1,067 St. Johns County driving on a suspended license with knowledge tickets were issued. These are criminal violations that can result in fines, court cost, classes, community service, insurance increases, probation and jail. Another 608 St. Johns County driving on a suspended license without knowledge were issued. All of these are serious and should not be resolved without speaking to our St. Augustine driving on a suspended license lawyers. Paying a ticket or accepting a plea in court could result in a 5 year license suspension and potentially facing future felony charges. The Clerk, Court and Prosecutor is not required to warn you about the 5 year habitual traffic offender suspension (HTO). It is a collateral consequence. A license suspension can happen for a number of reasons:
