'Just read your question...

It's not real clear what the date was for the start of the 5 yr. susp. However, they don't suspend for H.O. until the third conviction for certain charges that qualify for that statute. Sometimes, if the last conviction was near the end of 5 years from the first one, we can ask that the last one be set aside (by arguing you didn't have an atty.) and hope the judge sees what we are trying to avoid and simply agrees to our request. I did that for a client once and he avoided the 5 yr. susp.

You may not be able to do that, but if my office can be of any assistance to you, please give us a call. Tom Rosenblum
