Las Vegas Suspended License Defense Attorney
Were You Caught Driving with a Suspended License?
If you are arrested for driving with a suspended license in Nevada, you could face steep penalties, including the revocation or indefinite loss of your driver’s license. Chapter of Nevada’s Revised Statues states that anyone who drives or operates a motor vehicle with a suspended driver’s license can be arrested for a misdemeanor offense, which means that you could be penalized through both administrative processes and the criminal justice system. Don’t let your case get out of control. Act now by talking to a defense attorney from Goodman Law Group in Las Vegas. We are here to fight for you and steer your case in your favor.

Penalties for Driving with a Suspended License
If you are convicted of driving with a suspended license in Nevada, you could face these penalties and more:
- Jail time of 30 days (if you have been convicted of DUI)
- Extension to pre-existing license suspension duration
- Fine of $1,000 or more
- Potential felony charge (based on your criminal history or other factors during your arrest)
Furthermore, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can decide to revoke your license if you are caught driving with a suspended license. Whereas a license suspension is set to end after a certain amount of time, a license revocation is indefinite, meaning that it only “ends” if you can convince the DMV to reinstate your license. Reinstating your revoked license will be much more difficult if you don’t successfully defend yourself from the charge of driving with a suspended license and any other related criminal offenses like driving under the influence (DUI).
Defenses When Accused of Driving with a Suspended License
At Goodman Law Group, we pride ourselves on being able to create a personalized defense strategy for everyone who comes to our law firm, including people who were arrested for driving with a suspended license. No matter how difficult the path ahead might seem, we believe it is always worth exploring your options with an experienced defense team like ours.
Defense arguments that might apply to your case include:
- No notice: Were you never officially informed that your driver’s license was suspended? It’s feasible that you didn’t know you were breaking the law when you went for a drive because the DMV never sent you official or clear notice of the suspension or when it took effect.
- Emergency: We might be able to argue that you had to drive due to an emergency that required you to operate a motor vehicle or else someone’s health or well-being would have been at risk. For example, if you were pulled over while driving someone to the hospital during a medical emergency, we might be able to convince the court to dismiss the charge.
- Wrongful suspension: Your driver’s license suspension might have been issued wrongfully, such as when it was issued for an unjustified reason or entirely by mistake. If this is the case, you should not be convicted for driving with a suspended license.

Client Success Stories

So thankful for Mr. Ross Goodman taking on my case. Sometimes bad things happen even to good people and you're left to make decisions that could affect your livelihood. I knew going into my case I wanted the best lawyer defending me and the best is Ross.- Taniel C.

I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff. I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of money with the other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.- Tim H.

I had met with Ross in his office and within three seconds I knew I had to hire him. His right hand Tiffanie was professional and friendly and kept me informed of all court dates, which Ross appeared twice on my behalf without me even having to show up. I- Candice R.
