The first thing you need to do is let your parents know, and you (you and your parents) need to go speak to a lawyer. Schools are not allowed to question students without someone "friendly" to the student, and no, the school administrators and teachers are usually friendly to the school... Read more »

I understand your position; however, I don’t see facts, in your discussion, that supports your claim. Generally speaking, if a judge shows bias, your lawyer should file a motion to recuse (remove the judge from your case). Assuming the facts warrant such a motion, you may wish to pursue an...

My fiance has been on probation for at least 10 years. He is on the sex offenders list. Got arrested twice for public intoxication. The dates are 9/26/22 &10/3/22
answered on Oct 27, 2022
Quite often it depends on the nature of the violation, his performance on probation overall and the jurisdiction he is in. Aside from the arrests for public intoxication, if his performance on probation has been good otherwise, regarding completing classes, paying fees, maintaining contact with... Read more »

I don't know the charges or facts in your case but often an officer misspelling your name on a form has nothing to do with how DMV spells your name. Go to DMV, see if your name is spelled correctly and try to obtain your license if possible. Good luck!

But when I asked the attorney to file papers to have the administrative suspension lifted from the license I keep getting a run around. The attorney either doesn't... Read more »

The ALS suspension should have been terminated by the judge when the court sentenced you on the physical control violation. When a judge sentences an offender on an OVI or physical control violation, he or she is required to impose a court ordered suspension as a result of the conviction. The ALS,... Read more »

The short answer is sure, if she or someone authenticates the photos, and it is used in a DUI criminal case. If you are the accused, you should get an attorney and consult with the attorney about this. I wish you the very best.

Yes, you would be eligible for a second court supervision sentence in the state of Illinois. However, Illinois law states you cannot get supervision more than two times in a 12 month period. So make sure you are careful moving forward as you most likely would not be eligible again on any other... Read more »

answered on Oct 8, 2022
There is a process to get your probation revoked. The State has to file a Motion to Revoke, and you are entitled to a hearing on the Motion. The court can do many things at that hearing: Revoke you and give you jail time, give you a short jail term like 6 months, then reinstate your probation, and... Read more »

My dad's car was taken for driving on revoked from a 2nd DUI he got in 2007, they never charged him & the police drove off in his car, is that legal??
answered on Sep 29, 2022
If no charge was made by the LEO's, and no Forfeiture Warrant was issued, then it is an unlawful taking. But did Dad own the vehicle? I suspect more occurred here than what facts are stated. Driving on Revoked TNDL may be a charge in the making, which can take 1 year to initiate. The owner... Read more »

There's a myriad of issues present in this fact pattern. I'm not licensed in California, so I can't offer you an opinion on the nuances of CA law which may apply. I suggest STRONGLY, that you retain an attorney in your area to defend you.
Good Luck.
My Attorney at the time said I would have to wear it the whole 10 years, is this true?...it says nowhere on any paperwork about the time.

You can ask the judge to remove the scacr device. If there are no violations they may grant your request
answered on Sep 28, 2022
The answer is, it depends. If you were interdicted then it is illegal for you to purchase or possess alcohol. Often times, the courts will also include in the terms of your probation and good behavior that you were not allowed to purchase or possess alcohol. Virginia is an at will employment... Read more »

I'm sorry you've going through all this. Since the public defender represented you, start there and ask another attorney to take a second look at this. If you received ineffective assistance of counsel, for example, then you may be entitled to a new trial. If that is the case, however,... Read more »
