my car was Impounded because of a suspended licesnce..I didnt know my licesnce was still suspended. I didnt know I had to go to the dmv and have it reinstated that was the problem. I want to file an appeal with the sheriffs dept. that took it, because we just dont have the money to get it out. this suspention was from like 3 years ago and I thought it was all taken care of, and it was except I didnt reinstate it with the dmv. what do you think my chances are of winning an appeal?

You will lose, as you are fighting this your impound fees are accruing, and if you don't pay them the sherriff's dept will sell your car at auction

You won't win. They don't care and usually side with the enforcement agency. I had a similar situation...I had a fix it ticket that at the time I didn't know I needed to take to court when it was fixed (i was really young at the time). So my license got suspended and I only found out when i tried to renew it. I found out that the address they had for me was off by a digit so I never got any notices. I took it to court and they overruled me stating it was my responsibility to make sure the address was right! what??? It's correct on my drivers license so how the heck did the notice they supposedly sent have a typo!!??? oh well.

Nil.
Ignorance of the law is never an excuse for breaking the law.

Your chance is zero. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
