Kansas City Attorney for Driving While Suspended

Legal Defense for Suspended License Driving in MO

Driving while your license is suspended or revoked is considered a serious crime. Consequences can include:

  • Fines
  • Jail time
  • Suspension period

If your license was originally suspended while you were driving under the influence, the penalties can even more severe and dangerous to you and your future.

If you have been charged with driving with a suspended license, enlisting the help of a Kansas City DUI lawyer is a crucial matter. Your attorney can review such matters as:

  1. The actual status of your license, as it is possible that database errors have led to your charges.
  2. Whether or not you were actually given proper notice of the suspension can also be looked into, as you must knowingly commit this crime in order to be convicted.
  3. You must also have been given the opportunity for a hearing following notice of intended suspension; otherwise this violation of your rights can invalidate the new case against you.

  • "When your back is against the wall legally, call STEVE SCHANKER!!!!"
    Steve Schanker ESQ, where do I begin? Having been raised by a prominent Trial Attorney and having several other family members as attorneys, as well as having attended Law School myself, however choosing management as my career instead of the law, I believe I have a great body of knowledge of how to determine a great lawyer. Steve has defended me in two different extremely challenging situations. The first time I met Steve was in an extremely stressful DUI situation. I had spoken with a number of attorneys about my situation and most did not want to take the case on. I had a BAC of .14 and was pulled over driving 102mph on highway 70. Steve told me it was not a wise decision, however he also said he could help me. End result was not losing my license, a few hours of community service, and a Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS) which equates to not being convicted. Incredible result that I probably did not deserve which effectively saved my career! The second time I hired Steve was an even better result. I had just purchased a new car, and stupidly decided to see what it could do. I was taken out of my car after driving near 100mph in a 60mph stretch of road again, stupid ...I know, I was cuffed on the side of the road thinking I had really screwed myself this time around. However, I then called Steve and gave him the laundry list of charges including evading a police officer, road rage, the speeding etc....5 charges in all. What did Steve accomplish in my defense you may ask? He had 3 of the 5 charges dismissed entirely and two reduced to defective muffler status. 0 points, 0 moving violations......INCREDIBLE! If you ever have a legal need in any area that Steve specializes in you would be wise to hire Steve. Simply put he gets results! I wrote earlier my life experience helps me determine greatness in Attorneys, however that word doesn't describe Steve as a lawyer correctly....Simply put..... he is the BEST at what he does. I can't thank you enough Steve! JP

  • "The best there is on DWI cases."

    Mr. Schanker was referred to my son by a friend as "the best there is on DWI cases" and he proved that to be true beyond a shadow of a doubt. He worked for my son and negotiated a deal that was better than we could have ever hoped for. Mr. Schanker knows his business, he is professional, believes in his client, and works for his client. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Schanker to anyone needing representation on a DWI charge.
