Arrested For Driving Without A Valid Driver’s License?

The California Vehicle Code Section 12500 makes it unlawful to drive a motor vehicle without a validly issued driver’s license. Driving without a driver’s license can be charged as a misdemeanor and result in you having a criminal record which may later be discovered in background checks by future employers or landlords. If you are eligible to receive a driver’s license, we are often able to obtain a continuance so that you have time to obtain a valid driver’s license. We are often able to get the charges reduced to an infraction (i.e. like a moving violation).

If you are charged with driving without a valid license, it is important to consult with the San Mateo County criminal lawyers at Ahmed & Sukaram, Attorneys at Law, because the punishment for this offense can be shocking to most. Upon a first conviction, an individual can be sentenced by up to:
