Service Oklahoma is the agency now responsible for license revocation. Under Oklahoma law they have 180 days from the date of receiving the affidavit to take action on a license revocation. I think your issue here is one of notice. He may want to consider filing a district court appeal arguing that... View More
I paid my attorney $1500, then he dropped me. I had to pay ANOTHER attorney $1500 again. The first attorney should return my money. Correct? This is malpractice.

What does your contract with the first attorney say about the total fee owed?
They are charging me with an dui with BOC. Of .o8. I haven't drank in 7 years so that's impossible.

You need to contact a local criminal defense attorney immediately. The State will undoubtedly try to send you to prison. The sooner you get to working on your defense the sooner this going to be over.

Has bond been set yet? That typically has to be set within 48 hours. In some bigger counties, they may see the Judge to set bond and have an initial appearance, but then not see the judge again for a month. If bond is set, then contact a bondsman to get them out. Otherwise he needs a lawyer. Also... View More
2014 I got a misdemeanor dui. Was put on 3 year deferred sentence. Completed everything on that. In 2017 I ended up getting another Dui which was a felony, was placed on 5 year deferred sentence. 1 week ago I just got pulled over for another Dui so Just looking to see if that means jail time

Every DUI carries the potential of jail time. However, on a 2nd time felony offense you’re more likely to have some time. You definitely need to hire a lawyer to review your case and not just agree to whatever the DA is offering.

Yes. The State can file your case any time during the statute of limitations. Just keep in touch with your bondsman and check oscn.net.

Yes. The State could file a separate felony charge of Child Endangerment in addition to your DUI/DWI/APC.

It results in an automatic revocation of your license for 18 months.
I can’t afford a attorney and I asked my bondsman if I should apply for a public defender and he said if he was me I should defend myself and plea guilty but accept the court cost and fine but no jail time. But I don’t know how that would workout I just need a few answers.
answered on Jan 28, 2018
That’s terrible advice. Apply for a court appointed or try to find a lawyer who will take a payment plan. You want to avoid a conviction and just paying a fine will result in a conviction.
6 months in county jail, one year doc probation, 10 years deferred. Had a dui 11 years ago and public into 15 years ago.

Do you have a lawyer? That always helps. Depending on the Judge and county that can either be a great offer or you could possibly get something better from the Judge at a sentencing hearing. That's why it's important to consult with an attorney who knows the local judges and what you... View More
She stayed with the car but took the keys out of the ignition and locked the vehicle. she had the keys in her purse when the police arrived but was not in the car. Can we get the dui dropped?
answered on Jun 5, 2017
Probably. Unless the officers saw her I'll bring the vehicle or she was in the driver seat when they arrived, they will not be able to meet the elements of the crime. I would recommend consulting with a local attorney such as myself. Please let me know if I can be of further help.

It will depend upon the statutory language in your jurisdiction, but usually you cannot get a DUI without a motor. You may, however, still be guilty of a public intoxication.
The check clears the bank but the person who sent it tells you that you need to send money from that check to another individual to complete the process.
Ive been accused of issuing a worthless check in 2004 in OK. Ive asked to see the check or to be given the name of the merchant as I dont recall writing any bad checks for $17. I left the state in '04 due to military PCS and was never informed about this check until a week ago. The DA offered... View More

Depends on when they filed the case against you. Generally if it's filed within a couplw years of the check they are good without looking at the statute. However, you might have grounds to file a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Prosecute due to the length of time it's taken them to apprehend you.

Contact a local attorney to have them call. It might be a scam or so far out of time that they can't actually do anything to you.
Convicted in ks in 2005. Completed probation. Shows on KS record. Moved to MO, doesnt show on that record. If i moved to OK, would it show on an OK driving record check?. Asking due to my current job.
answered on Apr 24, 2017
The record will remain in Kansas and depending on what and where they check it may or may not show up. Your record doesn't vary state to state, sometimes employers just don't check everywhere.
