Legal Question in Traffic Law in Ohio

I recently went to court for Driving under a suspended license twice. Both times I was not aware I was under suspension. I recieved a Seat belt ticket and due to financial hardship was unable to pay it right away. I was puller over for no reason leaving a gas station and recieved the first ticket to driving while suspended. I asked the officer what I needed to do and he gave me no information. The officer then handed me a letter which they give to people with a suspended license. I called the local court and they had told me I need to pay they fine which I did and get a letter or re enstatement which I also did. Three day later I recieved a letter from The DMV stating i needed to pay $15 fee to them for having my license suspended, I payed this. About one week later I was pulled over for not having a light over my license plate and was told that my license was still suspended, not knowing it. I appeared for court and the judge had me make another court date for pre trial. Im not sure what may come of this but I would like to know what I need to take care of all of this. Im not a crimal, Im a navy veteran with a wife and two kids. If you could give me some guidence on what I need to do or should expect.
