Legal Question in Traffic Law in South Carolina

What are the penalties for Driving under suspension 4th

I was stopped by a local cop one weekend and to my knowledge my license was not suspended.When he pulled me over he stated i was going 50 in a 35 which i knew i wasnt but upon running my license he stated it was suspended.Two tickets kept me from legally having my license,which i should of followed up,As i sat in his car i noticed he had no radar detector but i was going to jail anyways for the lic. situation so i was full of bad luck.This is a municipal charge but i am on probation right now with a year and a half left.If the judge decides to give me time for the driving charge what could be the maximum penalty.And also is it worth hiring an attorney,i go to court in a few weeks they do not provide legal assistance and i may not have proper funds to hire one.thanks

Anyone who goes to court should have a lawyer. As to the possible time in jail for Driving Under Suspension, it depends on how many you have had. For the first offense its 30 days. Good luck.
