The District Justice is correct in that he gave you the incorrect sentence of 30 days. There is mandatory jail time of 60-90 days for driving under a DUI suspension. You should definitely appeal this decision as you might prevail. If you do not, then the judge must incarcerate you, so you should consult with an experienced attorney.

You did not say which county this occurred in or which judge sentenced you. That would be helpful info

If you wish, call me for a free consult. I have experience in over 7,000 criminal cases over the past 20 years. We have offices throughout eastern and central pa.
