Driver’s License Suspension and Reinstatement in Tucson
We Serve Clients Throughout Pima, Santa Cruz, Pinal, Graham, Cochise, and Maricopa Counties
Driving privileges are among the most important we have when it comes to freedom of movement. As police officers and Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) employees are happy to tell you, driving is not a right--it is a privilege that can be suspended or revoked by the MVD.
If you have received notice of an MVD suspension, you should promptly seek legal assistance. Driving with a suspended license is very risky. If you are caught operating a vehicle with a suspended license, you face penalties that include vehicle impoundment and seeing the suspension extended to one year.

License Suspension and Revocation in Arizona
Driver’s license suspension and driver’s license revocation may sound the same, but they are different legal actions. A suspension has a specific start and end date, after which you may apply for reinstatement. Driver’s license revocation lasts for an indefinite period. There is a minimum revocation period, after which you must go through an MVD investigation to determine whether reinstatement is appropriate.
The state of Arizona may suspend your driver’s license for a number of reasons, including:
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving involves driving with flagrant disregard for the safety of others on the road. Charges often include speeding excessively, tailgating, or ignoring traffic signals. Arizona courts view reckless driving as a serious public safety issue, which can result in both criminal penalties and the suspension or revocation of your license.
DUI Conviction
DUI charges carry the threat of automatic license suspension, with harsher penalties for higher blood alcohol levels or repeat offenses. The suspension period can range from 90 days for a first offense to multiple years for subsequent violations.
