Getting Pulled over Without a License

If you’re pulled over without a license or with a suspended license in New York, you’ll likely need to consult an attorney. A traffic lawyer can help you handle the serious repercussions that may come from driving with a suspended or revoked license. Whenever you are pulled over, it’s crucial to be polite and cooperative with the police officer. Let the officer know right away that your license has been suspended or revoked, and tell him or her why this is the case.
