Do I Need a Lawyer for Driving With a Suspended License in New Jersey?

Yes. Driving while suspended under N.J.S.A. 39:3-40 can bring fines, another suspension period, possible vehicle impoundment, and jail exposure. Penalties increase with repeat offenses. A second offense carries mandatory jail time, and a third offense carries a longer mandatory jail term. Enhanced penalties may apply when the underlying suspension relates to DWI or a breath-test refusal.

A lawyer reviews the reason for the suspension, notice records, court and MVC paperwork, and the circumstances of the stop. A defense may involve lack of knowledge, an invalid suspension, a notice problem, an emergency, or a mistake of fact. 

Matthew Cohan and his team handle suspended-license cases throughout New Jersey and work to limit the consequences to your record and ability to drive.

Legal fees depend on the charge, volume of evidence, and work required for hearings, motions, trial, or sentencing. A single-search possession case involves different demands from a multi-defendant gun-trafficking prosecution. Ask what the fee includes and how additional proceedings affect costs. The Law Offices of Matthew Cohan offers a free confidential consultation to discuss your case and representation.
