Driving on invalid license - what kind of penalties will I face?

Anthony O. Van Johnson
Answered by attorney Anthony O. Van Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Anthony Overton Van Johnson Associates, P.C.
In Georgia, if you are charged with the offense of "driving with a suspsended license", the State has the burden of proving that you had notice of the suspension. Without the State/prosecutor being able to provide proof of service, an Attorney should be able to obtain a dismissal on that offense. If the State can prove that you did have notice that your license was suspended prior to the traffic stop, an experienced attorney may be able to achieve one or more of the following on your behalf: (1) have your case continued/reset to give you an opportunity to have your license reinstated, and if successful in reinstating your license, the attorney may be able to negotiate an outright dismissal of the charge or possibly have the charge reduced, or (2) if dismissal or reduction is not an option, then the attorney should be able to negotiate a resolution that will not result in an additional suspension period. The punishment for a first offense is 48 hours in jail coupled with a fine and a period of probation. However, since you indicated that this is your first offense and that you did not have notice, an experienced attorney should be able to obtain a dismissal of the charge.

How long do they have to sentence you on drug charges before the statute of limitations is up

Christopher E. Chapman
Answered by attorney Christopher E. Chapman (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Christopher E. Chapman, PC Attorney at Law
The statute of limitations deals with amount of time that the state has to file the charges against you. If you have been to court, then it sounds like the charges were filed. You have a right to a Speedy Trial, but you should have an attorney ready to go to trial on the case before you file that.
