Last time I received a Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) ticket I got court costs and walked out of the court room. Why should I waste my money on a lawyer?

DWLS is an offense that can have serious ramifications on ones driving privilege. If you receive three DWLS charges within a five year period you will be designated as a Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO), and lose your driving privilege for five years. If you get caught driving when designated as a HTO, you will be facing a felony charge and up to five years in prison. Taking the easy way (pleading guilty or no contest) early can hurt you in the long run.
