1 Answer from Attorneys
By pleading no contest, your case is now over. No contest has the same legal effect as a plea of guilty. You may be able to withdraw your plea, but you must act within 180 days of your plea. If your license was not suspended, then you shouldn't face that charge. There may be a lesser charge of driving without a valid license if you didn't jump through the hoops with the DMV in order to get your license fully reinstated, but your attorney is going to have to look over the documents and reports.
