3rd annual Driver’s License Reinstatement Clinic held in Lake City

LAKE CITY, Fla. (WCJB) - People in Columbia County are trying to get back behind the steering wheel.

The 3rd annual free Driver’s License Reinstatement Clinic was held Saturday morning in Lake City. Pro bono attorneys attended to give legal advice, employees with the county tax collector’s office were also there.

Some assistance given included removing points from people’s license, decreasing ticket costs, and even payment plans. Event organizers say within the first hour about 20 people showed up.

“We’re in a very rural area, we don’t have public transportation, we don’t have cabs, we don’t have Ubers so basically you’re either on foot or you’re going to break the law, and we’d rather people not break the law,” shared 3rd Judicial Circuit Public Defender Cliff Wilson Jr.

Wilson says they’ve helped about 100 people over the past couple years through events like these.
