West Palm Beach Occupational Driver’s License Lawyer

Being arrested can carry with it a number of consequences, especially if the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles decides to revoke your driver’s license. This can create hardships for many people, as automobiles are the only realistic means of transportation to get to and from work or school, or to run necessary household errands. In many areas of Florida, public transportation is sparse, and taking a cab is prohibitively expensive, especially if it is expected to occur on a daily basis.

Fortunately, there is a solution for those who qualify: an occupational driver’s license. The experienced West Palm Beach occupational driver’s license lawyers at Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. are familiar with the process of obtaining an occupational driver’s license.

What is an occupational driver’s license?

In effect, an occupational driver’s license is a restricted driver’s license, allowing you to drive to and from school, work, and to other specific locations necessary for essential household tasks. This license is limited to these locations only, and cannot be given to those who have lost a commercial driver’s license. If you have lost your commercial license, contact the West Palm Beach occupational driver’s license attorneys of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. at 561-353-2800 to discuss your options.

How do I get an occupational driver’s license?

Firstly, a petition must be filed with the local court where you were convicted, and a judge will determine whether or not to grant you an occupational driver’s license. If you receive a court order stating the judge’s approval, you must submit the order along with other necessary documents, and you will be issued the occupational driver’s license within thirty days. Until then, you may use the court order as a temporary driver’s license.
