FlagI've got caught driving on suspended. Went to jail, got out and went to court. I was ordered to get my license by the next court date or go to jail. I owed almost $2000 in order to get my license ba.ck due to prior accident, and have been trying to pay off. So i didnt go back to court and a warrant was issued. What should i do? I've been paying for years off and on for that accident which means low income.
Hire a private defense attorney or get a public defender. You will have some issues with your bond (cash or surety) because of your failure to appear. A defense attorney should be able to get the warrant removed without you appearing in court, depending on the Judge. Most driving on suspended cases can be resolved without any jail time or probation. You may be facing a five year license revocation depending on your priors. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation (727) 260-5754. I provide criminal and traffic defense in Hillsborough County.
In this case- and I hope my colleagues don't boo me- save your lawyer money for your license pay off money. Contact the Hillsborough Public Defender's Office and tell the, your situation. They will do their best to help you.
Sincerely,
James Regan, LL.M, Esq.
