The DUI suspension won't go away with the passage of time, it will remain in place until it is cleared, period. You can call Mandatory Actions in Sacramento (1.916.657.6525) to determine what needs to be done but judging from your question you know what you have to do.
I'm trying to figure out when do points "fall off the record", when does the time start counting, from the time a person is convicted or from the time the citation was issued? All I know that in CA it's 3 years and 3 months, but when does the time start counting exactly, so they... View More

The points accrue (go on your record) when the conviction occurs, meaning that, until you are convicted the points aren't on your driving record, the three years starts running at the point you are convicted.
once I received a citation?
I'm sorry, I believe my question has been wrongly structured,
I'm trying to figure out when do points "fall off the record", when does the time starts counting, from the time a person is convicted or from the time the citation was issued? Thank you

Any points that are placed on your driving record start when you are convicted, not cited.

You should definitely talk to a DUI defense attorney, there are issues here to investigate. Obviously any coordination test performances will be affected by the injuries suffered by your son in the accident. Depending on the timing (and type) of the chemical test, hospital treatment can also... View More

Yes, you will need to get SR-22 insurance and meet any other requirements that were in place following your suspension for DUI. You could contact DMV Mandatory Actions at 1.916.657.6525 to determine what steps you need to take to reinstate your license.

I am unfamiliar with the California Resident License, that being said, the issuing agency may have authority to withdraw or suspend the license when a licensee is arrested. You should contact the licensing agency and ask about the process to get reinstated.
completed alcohol classes there. now 11 years later CA has suspened my license for that 2011 dui, claiming its been suspended for 11 years! retro deated. Ive lived in other states and had licenses and moved back to CA in those 11 years and currenly have a valid CA license. i need help
answered on May 29, 2022
You probably received the DUI on your CA license in another state, that state finally reported the conviction to CA, CA updated it's records and has suspended you effective to the date when you were convicted. You probably do not have a valid license at this time, you will probably have to... View More
Hi my fiance was arrested for 2 warrants for DUI misdemeanors and one county is saying no bail and the other has a bail for 30,000 what does this mean?
answered on Apr 27, 2022
It means that on one warrant she can post bail, on the other she must appear in court before bail will be considered. You should contact a local lawyer to discuss the cases and possibly appear and argue for bail in the "no bail" case.
I feel they were in the wrong ( i explained all this in my first question....

You cannot get a license until you complete the program. If the program will accept you with the credit you earned, great, if not, then you start from the beginning. Obviously, there may be other concerns regarding the court aspect of your case.
I was visiting family in Oregon and Saturday night (April 9) I was pulled over and received a dui but I live in California and can’t travel back and forward. My court date was set for June 6, 2022 and I want to know if my case can be transferred to my county.
answered on Apr 12, 2022
No, you can't transfer the prosecution to a venue that is more convenient for you. You will need to either retain a lawyer or appear at your arraignment on June 6. At that appearance, your lawyer will appear on your behalf or, assuming you are there, you may have a public defender appointed... View More

answered on Apr 4, 2022
You should check with the program directly regarding admissions and attendance policies, they should be able to show you the regulations applicable to your situation, they also should explain the reinstatement process. Often, once a student has been expelled from the program they have to return to... View More
The Driver was only sentenced with 95 days in jail. Can the charge still be appealed to much longer sentence? If not, why is it only 95 days when the driver killed someone?
answered on Mar 29, 2022
At sentencing the Judge took into consideration all the factors in the case, the facts, the victim, the defendant and contributing factors; he/she either agreed with the "plea bargain" that was made or made an offer independently of the prosecutor, either way the "parties" (The... View More

The good news, if there is any, is that you are really close to the Statute of Limitations running (assuming this is a first offense without and accident causing injury). In a misdemeanor prosecution, the prosecution has 1 year from the offense date to file charges, once the filing deadline has... View More
From what it sounds to me is they keep giving my brother the run around. my brother hasn’t been able to talk to his public attorney or hasn’t seen one. He set bail last week but haven’t released him, he just sitting there waiting to hear something from someone. Is this legal?
answered on Feb 8, 2022
As Mr. Gribow writes, there is more to this than meets the eye, when bail was set (which should have happened in court) he would have been represented by a lawyer, either one he paid for or one appointed by the judge. That being written he won't be released until bail is paid or the judge... View More

It depends on what the job application requests, be aware that an "expungement" doesn't really hide the conviction, it remains on your driving record.

You should reach out to the lawyer that has been retained, request a meeting to discuss the facts, evidence and path forward. If the lawyer won't meet then obviously there's a problem, it's time to start looking for a new lawyer.

The information you have seems accurate, a commercial license is suspended for one year hard, regardless of the vehicle you were driving. If you want a license before the one year is over, you can do it but you have to re-qualify for the Class A license when the year is up.
I signed paperwork to complete a SBA mortgage loan and said NO that I had never been arrested. After sending in the documents, but before closing, I was arrested for DUI. Should I amend my paperwork?

Of course the devil is in the details, what you signed and how it is phrased, generally if everything your answered was true when you signed the document you should be fine. You might check with your realtor for an additional opinion.

How do you think international law help defend your case? Generally, when you visit or are a resident in a country you agree to follow the laws of that country, especially the laws relating to activities that are criminal.
would it be a reason to get that evidence throw out?
answered on Nov 4, 2021
Maybe. You should hire a lawyer to investigate the "chain of custody." Usually, with evidence there is a log that tracks the movement of the evidence, in the case of a blood sample, it usually includes the vial serial number and then the date, time and name of every person touching the... View More
