You are likely looking at jail time for the driving on suspended license charges as well as the probation violations. I highly recommend that you hire an experienced dui lawyer to handle these issues. In California, the penalties increase for every 14601.2 driving on a suspended license charge due to DUI conviction.

You are definitely looking at some jail time, probably at least 30 days. I suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

You are on probation and keep breaking the law! The odds are very good that you will get some jail time.

You may not get any (or much) jail time for the suspended license charge, but you risk having your probation revoked, and then there would very likely be some jail time. Stay on the best of terms with your P.O. Good luck.

Most likely you will, for violation of probation. Which is why you should have an attorney go to court first to address the issue before it turns into a warrant.

If you were driving without a license (or suspended) and didn't have insurance at the time you are subject to 30 days in jail for each violation.

I suspect that there is a high probability that, because you have not paid any significant attention to the orders of the court, the court will determine to incarcerate you in order to impress you with the fact that it is better to pay attention and obey its orders them not.

It is very possible, especially when you were on probation. You may also lose your license for a term to be decided by the Judge. Hire an attorney of your choice. I would not suggest that you exercise your right to waive counsel.

You are in violation of probation and jail is a possible sentence. Hire an attorney to represent you in court.
