Get Your License Back – Oregon Driver’s License Restoration

Restoring your Oregon Driver License

Certain criminal convictions can result in the loss or permanent revocation of a driver license. Felony DUII and a third conviction for DUI (after DUII Diversion) are examples of charges that will result in a lifetime revocation of driving privileges in Oregon. Obviously, the loss of driving privileges can have an enormous impact on daily life. Routine things such as obtaining a job, getting to work, groceries, child-care — all present new challenges. Fortunately, it is possible to restore Oregon driving privileges in certain situations and a DUII attorney at Donahue Law Firm can help get your license back.

Restoration of Driver’s License After Permanent Revocation

In Oregon, if a person’s driver’s license has been revoked for life for DUII related convictions that may not be the end of the story. Under the right circumstances, a person may be eligible for reinstatement after 10 years. Certain factors related to conviction date, probation, and subsequent motor vehicle-related convictions may affect the specific timing of eligibility for reinstatement. A knowledgeable DUII attorney should know if and when you are eligible. A DUII lawyer at the Donahue Law Firm can assist you in restoring your license and getting you back behind the wheel.

How to Get Your Oregon Driver’s License Back

Restoring driving privileges can be challenging and what follows is a simplified overview. In order to restore driving privileges after a permanent revocation, a petition must be filed in circuit court and a hearing conducted. The petition must seek an order from the judge restoring the person’s privilege to drive.

Following the filing of the petition, a hearing will be held to determine whether the petition will be granted. At the hearing, the Court will consider a number of factors. Among others, these factors include the nature of the offense that resulted in revocation, and other criminal and relevant noncriminal issues related to the petition occurring both before and after the revocation. In order to prevail at the hearing, the person seeking their license must provide substantial evidence to show all factors are satisfied. Not surprisingly, the entire process is usually handled by a DUII attorney skilled in driver license restoration.
