Legal Question in Traffic Law in Missouri
I have several tickets-2 driving while suspended, 3 not having proof of insurance, and 3 improper tags. I have no idea what to do and I�ve been told to get a lawyer. Do I have any chance of this ending with fines instead of jail time? I don�t know how I would explain it to my job and I could lose it for this. I barely make minimum wage and I don�t even know where to start with a lawyer. I tried explaining I left my ex and I�ve changed my address several times at the local DMV but it still gets sent to him. I have my license valid and even that paperwork has his address on it

If you are convicted of Driving While Suspended, the Department of Revenue will Revoke your license. The first one might be for a year. The second one might be longer,and the third one longer yet. In addition, if the Court follows the statute, you would be given a minimum of two days in jail on each such conviction. Convictions for Driving with no insurance carry heavy point consequences, depending upon how exactly the offense is charged. There is no doubt that you need a lawyer on all of these cases, and it will cost you a substantial amount of money. But, with a good lawyer, you may be able to avoid jail, avoid convictions and avoid losing your license for a long, long time. I have handled hundreds of these cases, and you may contact me for a free telephone consultation.
