A: You are facing two Class A misdemeanors (suspended license and aggravated speeding 35 or more). If you are unable to afford an attorney, as you stated, you may request a public defender at the time of court and the judge will determine your eligibility. If you are able to take steps to clear up your license suspension, start that process immediately.
