If you are pulled over driving on a suspended license, the police will either arrest you on the spot for Operating After License Suspended and your car will be towed. If you are lucky enough to have a passenger who has a valid license and the cop wants to give you a break, he may let your passenger drive your car from the scene and send you a summons in the mail to appear in court to face the charge. You would be wise to not take the risk.

You need a civil attorney, that is one who practices in civil cases. You might also look for one who specializes in contractor law, or contractor liens. There are several on-line services you can use, or contact the attorney referral service of the local Bar association. Good luck!

The consequences for violation of probation are the same consequences for conviction of the crime for which the person was placed on probation. The person obviously committed a crime of some sort to be ordered to be placed on probation and to pay fees or fines. You say she had a 90 day suspended sentence. If that is the case, most judges will automatically put her in jail for the term of the suspended sentence. When she received that sentence, the judge was essentially saying was... "I think you deserve 90 days of jail time for your offense. However, for whatever reason, I am going to give you a break and suspend that sentence. If you violate probation, you will serve your time." More often than not, she will just get the suspended time. I have successfully been able to have defendant's reprobated (return to the probation, just like it was before you caught the new charges), but it is not an easy sell. Hire a good attorney who knows how to manage the case and you may avoid doing the time.
