Orange County DUI Lawyers
Limited Driving Privileges in Orange County, California
Limited driving privileges may be an option you and your attorney can seek if you
have had your driver’s license suspended in conjunction with an
Orange County DUI (driving under the influence) charge. Also referred to
as a restricted license, limited driving privileges enable a person to drive to
and from work, school and DUI classes.
Consulting an Orange County DUI lawyer will enable you
to discover if you may qualify for a restricted license, as well as how you can
obtain one. To qualify, there are general requirements you must meet, including
enrollment in DUI school, proof of insurance and more. A certain amount of time
must have passed since your license suspension, as well.
At Coffey & Coffey, we offer a
free case evaluation wherein we can evaluate your situation and determine
how an attorney at our firm may be able to help you. With many years of experience
in this field, and reasonable payment plans, our firm is an excellent choice if
you are interested in applying for limited driving privileges.
