Welcome and thank you for your question!

I am sorry to learn of your experience. If you do not have your license reinstated before your court date, then the local prosecutor really does not have a basis to offer you any type of plea offer to a less serious offense.

In other words, you are then left with the choice of pleading guilty as originally charged or going to trial and having a judge/jury find you guilty as originally charged.

The advantage of getting your license cleared before going to court is that the prosecutor may offer you a plea deal to a less serious offense.

It has been my pleasure to assist you today with your information needs. It is my goal that you are satisfied. No expert can promise you an answer that is favorable to your circumstances. But I will do my very best to explain the legal principles that are related to the facts you’ve described so that you can better understand the “why” of things.
