Nathan’s Answer
An interim suspension is the first step before an accusation is filed where the administrative agency will try to revoke your license. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will not be appointed as administrative actions are not criminal actions. You will need to take a cash advance, loan, or borrow if you want a robust defense. Otherwise, you can learn the administrative codes and defend yourself. These matters are difficult enough with attorney representation - I do not recommend you defend yourself if you can obtain counsel.
