What can I do if several months later after my case got dismissed they suspended my license for not having my insurance?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
if you show the proper people that you had insurance on the day, they should lift the suspension but it depends on who suspended you and why if ct shows that you were convicted of no ins, then that is a mistake - they should fix upon appropriate notice if ct shows that you failed to appear in court, then pay OJW fee to reinstate if DMV suspended bc notice that you did not have insurance, then they will only reinstate upon showing current insurance and pay fee .

If I asked to get private attorney at last court date and still have not secured one, can I get continuance?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
Criminal Law lawyer at 5280 Law Group
Who knows. It will depend on the judge that you are in front of. If you have asked for several previous continues and still have not secured counsel, than probably not. At some point, the judge will NOT allow any more continuance, but a judge will want you to have legal representation. I would be prepared to show the judge that you have contacted some attorneys and are in the process of retaining them, you just need a bit more time.
