As mentioned, this offense is typically charged a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a MAXIMUM 12 months in jail and $2,500 fine plus court costs. You may just need to pay the fine, but if it was reported to the Secretary of State as a failure to appear, you will need to file a motion and go to court to resolve the case as part of the process of reinstating your license. The conviction would also delay the process of reinstating your license by extending your current suspension period. The wise choice is to find an attorney to re-open the matter and guide you through the process of resolving the case properly.

They suspend your license further and add fines, costs and possible jail time. You need a lawyer to help you with this ASAP.

Your question is really not that clear. If a judgment has been entered against you for a Driving on Suspended Ticket, you typically just have to pay the fine or deal with failure to appear. Driving on Suspended is a Class A Misdemeanor which is punishable by up to 364 days in jail and up to $2,500.00 in fines not including mandatory fees and costs. You should hire an attorney to assist you with this matter because it could also cause you further issues with your Driver's License.
