A: It is charged as a Class 1 misdemeanor and the maximum sentence is up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,500.00. Your privilege to drive may be additionally suspended for the same period as the original suspension, or if there is no definite period of original suspension, then for ninety days. However, an attorney may be able to negotiate with the prosecutor to get it dismissed, get no active jail time on a conviction, or get the case reduced to No Valid Operator's License, a lesser offense. The outcome will depend on the facts of the case and your driving record. Contact my office at 703-352-9044 for a free initial consultation.
