If I was caught driving with a suspended license due to a lapse in insurance but this is my first offense, do I need to have a lawyer for court?

I have a perfect driving record and was unaware that my license was suspended. How should I proceed?

Any time one is subject to a criminal matter it is always best to have an attorney represent him or her in the matter. So too it is my advice that you retain a criminal defense attorney to represent you with respect to the suspended license matter that you are involved in as opposed to appearing on your own.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
