License Restoration

Helping You Get Back on the Road

If your license has been suspended due to an OWI, habitual traffic violations, a criminal conviction, or BMV error, you may still have options. Sarah Ober helps clients across Noble, Kosciusko, LaGrange, DeKalb, Steuben and Whitley counties restore their driving privileges through court-approved solutions, including specialized driving privileges.

As both a private attorney and public defender in Noble County, Sarah understands how to navigate local courts and prepare clear, compelling petitions that help clients return to work, school, and family responsibilities. She takes the time to understand your situation and will be honest with you about what the law allows — and what your best path forward may be.

What Is License Restoration?

License restoration is the process of regaining the legal ability to drive, either fully or on a limited basis. This may include:

• Specialized Driving Privileges (SDP): A court-ordered permit that allows you to drive for specific purposes, such as employment, education, or child care

• Reinstatement after a suspension or revocation

• Addressing underlying legal issues that are preventing reinstatement

• Reviewing driver records to determine if there is BMV error

Common Reasons for License Suspension

Sarah represents individuals with suspended licenses for:

• OWI (Operating While Intoxicated)

• Refusal to submit to a chemical test

• Driving while suspended

• Accumulated traffic violations/Habitual Traffic Violator (HTV)

• Court-ordered suspensions related to criminal charges

Why Work With a Local Attorney?

Each Indiana county has its own process for requesting specialized driving privileges. Sarah knows the procedures and expectations in northeast Indiana courts and will prepare your petition with precision. She is detail-oriented, straightforward, and committed to helping her clients move forward.

If your license has been suspended, do not wait. The court may grant you the ability to drive legally again, but only if you take the right steps.

Consultations for license restoration require a $50 fee, and a $10 fee is required if a driving record must be pulled. These fees must be paid in advance and are the only services for which consultation fees apply.

Sarah offers free consultations for all other legal matters.
