Frequently asked questions about a driver's license suspension in Merriam & Kansas:
How exactly can my driver's license get suspended?
These are the infractions that will result in the suspension of your Kansas driver's license:
* Conviction of three or more moving violations within a specified time period. The State does not care if the violations were collected in Merriam, elsewhere in Kansas, or even in another state - they will still suspend your driver's license for too many violations!
* Refusal to submit to a chemical test to determine your BAC when requested to do so by a Merriam Police Officer
* Failing to appear for court date or failing to pay a ticket from Merriam or other jurisdiction. We see this one all too often - folks either can't afford to pay a ticket or forget all about it. When the Court date is missed, the City or County will suspend that person's driver's license and issue a warrant for your arrest. If you have missed your Court date, call us immediately! We can often enter an appearance on your behalf, get the warrant recalled, and take steps to get your driver's license back in good standing.
* Failing to maintain continuous liability insurance on your vehicle. If you drive your car without insurance, you can be suspended for a very lengthy period of time - even if you haven't been in an accident. Do not drive without insurance in Merriam or elsewhere! If you do let your insurance lapse and a ticket is issued, call us immediately so we can help you avoid a driver's license suspension for the charge.
* Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs or having a BAC level of .08% or above. Almost everyone charged with a DUI will also be subject to a driver's license suspension ranging from 30 days to life, depending on their driving history.

Can I get a hardship driver’s license?
Kansas laws do not allow the issuance of a hardship license, that would allow a person to drive during the length of their suspension, revocation, cancellation or
disqualification period.
I went through a period of time where I racked up a bunch of tickets. This is hurting my ability to get a license. Is there anything an Merriam traffic law office can do to help me get my driving privileges back?
In many cases, the answer is yes - we can help you get your Kansas driver's license. We specialize in "hard cases" that other traffic attorneys in Merriam and Johnson County are unwilling to take. We can help you in several ways.
First, if there are tickets that haven't been paid, we can enter appearances on those cases and attempt to amend or "fix" any moving violations you have pending.
Second, if past tickets are going to be or are the cause of a driver's license suspension, then we may be able to vile a "motion to withdraw plea," where we can actually "undo" the tickets you've paid in the past.
When dealing with past tickets or multiple tickets, the situation can get very complicated very quickly. Call us today at 913 764-5010 to set up an appointment to discuss your situation and to find a solution to get back your Kansas driver's license.
