In Virginia, a driver’s license can be revoked for multiple serious offenses, including multiple DUI convictions, certain felony drug convictions, or being declared a habitual offender. Unlike a suspension, which is temporary, a revocation is the indefinite termination of your driving privilege. To regain your license, you must petition the court and the DMV after a mandatory waiting period. The process is governed by Va. Code § 46.2-389 and related statutes. Founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, our firm brings over 120 years of combined legal experience to your defense.
