I have a driver's license suspension and the district justice said I have to have a lawyer

The answer to this case really depends on the driving while suspended you are charged with.  Many DUS charges carry mandatory jail times and additional license suspensions.  Having an attorney can be instrumental in avoiding jail.  Importantly, you do not have to have an attorney.  If you can't afford an attorney, and are facing jail time you may be eligible for a public defender.  I don't know the judge or why she is requiring you to get counsel but she may be looking out for your best interests.  Call the local bar association and try to at least do a consultation with a local traffic attorney.  They will have access to information the general public does not and may be able to provide you helpful guidance.  More importantly, most attorneys in traffic cases cost significant less than most people think.  The value in avoiding jail and additional suspensions often far exceeds the fee you would have to pay.
