Operating After License Suspension Citations in Massachusetts | Boston Criminal Defense Lawyer

Under M.G.L. c. 90 § 23, Driving with a Suspended License in Massachusetts is considered a misdemeanor criminal offense. Often written on a ticket by the police as “Operating After Suspension”, this criminal charge must be defended in Massachusetts District Court.

When a Criminal Massachusetts Uniform Citation is issued for the criminal charge of Driving with a Suspended License, one must take immediate action in order to preserve important procedural options. The ticket must be properly filed within 4 days in order to obtain a “Clerk Magistrate Hearing” on the application for a criminal complaint.

Operating After License Suspension Charges in Massachusetts

Having experienced counsel is invaluable as the offense of operating without a Massachusetts Driver’s License involves multiple layers. In addition to the criminal case, a Traffic Court Attorney will also address the underlying issue with the Massachusetts RMV, which caused the initial suspension, and will work to reinstate your driver’s license. Furthermore, the charge of driving after suspension may appear on your criminal record and driving record if not handled properly.

A conviction for this offense results in further license suspensions, fines, and, in the most extreme and rare cases, jail time. Ultimately, when facing a criminal charge it is important to have an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney advising you throughout the legal process.

Why Is My Driver’s License Suspended in Massachusetts?

An individual’s driver’s license may be suspended for a number of reason, including:

In fact, it is quite possible to be pulled over and charged with this crime without knowing that your license had been suspended. For example, an unpaid speeding ticket and RMV notices sent to a prior address may result in a suspension of license without the defendant’s knowledge.  In addition, once the Massachusetts Registry suspends a license, the suspension will remain in effect until the operator takes action to reinstate the license.
