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.

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.
