Re: suspended Ca. Lic. Case

Sounds like you might have a pretty good reason why you did not know your license was suspended in which case your current case could be defended. At any event, I do not believe jail is likely. They will probably give you some time to get your license.

I would call the DMV/Driver Safety mandatory actions in Sacramento and go over with them in detail to see what prevents you from getting your license, what you need to do and what your options are. A lawyer would be very helpful here but it does not look like you can afford one at the moment.

It sounds to me like you might want to speak with your public defender and find out if they will assist you with the entire situation. If they can not help, I would suggest contacting one of the local law schools close to you and finding out if they have a program in which law students under the supervision of attorneys assist the community population in situations like this. Some law schools have clinics where students work as certified student attorneys and help people who can not afford attorneys with legal matters. Good luck.
