Newburgh Aggravated Unlicensed Operation Defense Attorney
If your driver's license has been suspended or revoked, you may have been tempted to test the waters and drive without a valid driver's license. If you failed to pay a fine related to a speeding ticket or other violation, you may not have even known that your license was suspended or revoked. In either case, if you have been charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle (AUO), understand that you face serious criminal charges.
Depending on your individual circumstances, AUO may be charged as a misdemeanor or even a felony. At Wolfe Law Firm, P.C., our law firm has represented many people charged with AUO. We will take every step within the law to minimize the impact of these serious charges. Call 845-234-4753 to discuss your situation with criminal defense lawyer William J. Wolfe today.
In our experience, the most common situation that brings on an AUO charge is when a driver fails to pay a fine for a speeding ticket or other violation. If you have failed to pay a fine and have now been charged with AUO, our law firm can contact the county or jurisdiction where you did not pay the fine. You may have to pay a bond and suspension fee. If we are able to show that you are addressing the unpaid fine or have paid it, we may be able to convince the prosecution to reduce the charge to Unlicensed Operator, which is merely a violation.
If your AUO charges stem from driving without a license after a DWI conviction, you may not have as many options. Considering the seriousness of the charge, it is still wise to enlist the services of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
