Drunk Driving License Suspensions

All convictions for drinking offenses will result in some license suspension. Since 10-1-1999, the licensing action is automatically taken by the Secretary of State following conviction. The Court has no discretion. Based on the facts in your case, and the timing of convictions, your attorney at The Law Offices of THOMAS J. TOMKO and Associates, P.C. may help you to avoid the harsh penalties associated with multiple drunk driving offenses. This ability depends upon the facts in each case.
