A: He should hire a lawyer. If he can't afford to hire a lawyer, he needs to ask the court to appoint one. Driving on a suspended license can earn you some jail time as well as probation, and it can also be very expensive. Additionally, when the license is suspended based on a prior DUI, the court will order an ignition interlock. He needs to get help. Good Luck
