Your Driving Privileges
We take our driving privileges for granted in the United States. We often feel like it is a fundamental right and we forget sometimes that in reality, it is a privilege. For this reason, many people underestimate the seriousness of driving without a license. But driving under restraint is a serious traffic offense. Every conviction carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five days in jail.

Early in her career as a lawyer, Leah Bishop worked in the district attorney's office prosecuting cases like this for nearly nine years before gaining valuable experience as a criminal defense attorney.
