New Jersey License Suspension or Revocation
The Devastating Consequences of Losing Your License
Losing your driver’s license can be a devastating experience. If you have received a notice of scheduled suspension from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), the consequences of losing your license can be serious. You may find it difficult or even impossible to get to work, attend classes, or take care of your family. It can also lead to losing your job or being unable to spend time with your children, and you may even consider driving while suspended or revoked. At Spodek Law Group, our experienced attorneys understand the severity of these consequences and provide a thorough and aggressive defense to clients charged with any traffic offense.
Protect Your Driving Privileges
There are many traffic offenses that can lead to mandatory periods of license suspension or revocation if you are found guilty. However, our attorneys at Spodek Law Group may be able to help you protect your driving privileges. We can work with the judge to have multiple periods of suspension served concurrently, or to have charges reduced to a lesser offense that has a shorter period of suspension, or even none at all. Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge to fight for your rights and ensure that you receive the best possible outcome for your case.
Common Traffic Charges Leading to Suspension of Driving Privileges
There are numerous charges that may result in license suspension or revocation, including but not limited to:
Traffic Offense |
Period of Suspension |
Driving without insurance |
1 year |
Driving without a valid driver’s license |
6 months – 1 year |
Possession of drugs in a motor vehicle |
2 years |
Reckless driving, speeding, careless driving |
Varies depending on the offense |
Failure to report an accident, leaving the scene of an accident |
1 year |
Drunk driving – DUI and DWI |

Under New Jersey law, your license can also be suspended for non-traffic related issues. For example, if you fail to pay child support, parking tickets, DMV surcharges, or a license restoration fee, your license may be suspended until you have resolved these issues. At Spodek Law Group, our attorneys have a deep understanding of the law and can help you navigate these complex issues to ensure that your license is reinstated as soon as possible.

Understanding the Suspension and Revocation Process
In New Jersey, the process of license suspension or revocation has several steps. Understanding the process can help you better navigate the system when facing a potential loss of driving privileges. Here’s a general overview of the process:
– If your driving record includes violations or points, you may receive a notice of scheduled suspension from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).
– Next, a proposed suspension notice will be mailed to you. The notice will list the violations leading to the suspension, the dates of when the suspension will go into effect, and the steps you need to take to restore your license.
– After receiving the notice, you have a limited time to request a hearing to contest the suspension.
– If you request a hearing, you will be informed of the date, time, and location. It is crucial to consult with a skilled attorney, like those at Spodek Law Group, to determine the best strategy for your hearing.
– If your request for a hearing is denied, or if after the hearing the suspension takes effect, you will need to surrender your driver’s license to the MVC.
– After the suspension period ends, you must complete requirements and pay the necessary fees for license restoration.
