In some cases, individuals may be eligible for a restricted license or permit. This type of license allows you to drive under certain conditions, even during a suspension. Navigating the criteria for eligibility can be challenging, but don't worry, we are here to help determine if you qualify and to assist in the application process.

Eligibility often depends on aspects such as the severity of the DUI, any prior offenses, and your specific needs, such as commuting to work or attending school. A restricted license can be a lifesaver for maintaining life's essential functions while you work towards full reinstatement.

Most states require DUI offenders to attend educational programs or classes as part of the reinstatement process. These sessions aim to educate individuals on the risks of impaired driving and to promote safer driving practices. Our team can connect you with state-approved programs and guide you on how completion may positively affect your license reinstatement.
