Have you hired an attorney? A local attorney can get your license back for you until your cases is finished.

If your suspension period has been completed, then you can resume driving. If your suspension time is not completed, then you should not drive until the suspension period has finished. If you drive before your suspension has finished, then you could be subject to additional charges for driving while your license is suspended. The status of your case with the judge is not controlling.
