If you have been convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving after imbibing (DAI), one of the penalties was likely the loss of your driving privileges. For many people, this is, by far, the most damaging penalty that could be imposed. Fortunately, Pennsylvania law allows you to seek limited driving privileges during the suspension period.
Often referred to as a hardship license, a Pennsylvania Occupational Limited License (OLL) allows you to operate a vehicle for very specific purposes, including driving to and from work, school or a trade, as well as going to and from medical treatments or counseling. The process for obtaining a OLL can be quite complex, and a qualified Pennsylvania hardship license application lawyer can help ensure that you receive a favorable outcome.
There are specific requirements that must be met in order for a OLL to be issued including the fulfillment of a minimum portion of your license suspension, and not all requests are approved. At The Law Offices of Basil D. Beck III, I represent clients throughout the five-county area in all aspects of DUI cases, and I have helped countless clients seek hardship licenses. I understand the process, and I know the best approach to protecting your driving privileges.
When you hire me as your attorney, I will walk you through the entire process. I can help you complete the initial application and work to ensure that all deadlines are met. Once approved, I can help you provide all of the necessary information with regard to vehicles, driving routes and other pertinent details that will need to be provided.
