Driving on Suspended or Revoked License in Murfreesboro, TN
Driving on a suspended license is a misdemeanor in Tennessee that can lead to jail, a longer suspension, and even vehicle forfeiture. We work to minimize the damage and restore your driving privileges.
What You're Facing
Driving on a suspended or revoked license under T.C.A. § 55-50-504 is a Class B misdemeanor for a first offense, punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine. Subsequent offenses are Class A misdemeanors carrying up to 11 months 29 days. The conviction also extends your existing suspension by an additional year, and your vehicle may be subject to forfeiture if you have prior offenses or were driving on a DUI-based revocation.
How We Build Your Defense
- Knowledge defense — the State must prove you knew your license was suspended; failure of proper notice from the Department of Safety is a real defense
- Underlying suspension challenges — if the original suspension was improperly imposed, the basis for the new charge can collapse
- Restricted license advocacy — we petition for restricted driving privileges that allow you to keep working while resolving the underlying issue
- Reinstatement coordination — we identify every reinstatement requirement (fees, programs, SR-22) and walk you through them in the right order
- Avoiding vehicle forfeiture — strategic case resolution can preserve your vehicle even when conviction is unavoidable
