That's a good question, and hard to answer without some further information. The most likely way to get a good answer is to obtain a COMPLETE, CERTIFIED driving record from the Michigan Secretary of State, and let me or some other Michigan attorney who handles drunk driving cases and the...

To give the best answer, I would need to see your Michigan driving record, if there is one, and also would try to interpret your Kentucky driving record. But if you have a valid Kentucky driver's license, it sounds like you should be able to get a Michigan license without the incident in... View More

So far as I know, there would be nothing preventing you from selling the car. If you keep the car, however, be sure you get insurance on it before you go to court, and take the proof of insurance coverage to court as soon as possible. If you can't do it before the court date, take the proof... View More

You definitely need an attorney to help you with the situation. The information here does not indicate where this happened, which can affect how to approach the case, the cost for legal services, and who might be a good choice of attorneys. I think it would be better if you called me, or some... View More

Contact the court to see if there is a warrant for your arrest. If so, find out what the amount of the bond is. You would normally then have to go to the police department, but sometimes directly to the court, to turn yourself in on the warrant and post the bond, and get the charge set for a... View More

No, there is not a time limit. Any delay can be considered in determining the reliability of the results, but probably not their admissibility. If you don't have an attorney to help you with this situation, get one. Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

You need to contact the police department that issued the ticket, and ask them to dismiss the ticket and re-write it in your name. If you just pay it, the other person will get points on their record that they don't deserve. In being honest about it, you may actually help yourself by getting... View More

Yes! If you have a previous drinking and driving conviction, you can be charged with Felony Child Endangerment, and can have your license taken away for one to five years. If you don't have a previous drinking and driving conviction, it is usually going to be more points than what you would... View More

Leaving the scene of an accident is a 6 point violation, which is as big as they get. It is also a criminal offense that could conceivably put you in jail for three months, although that is not likely. My point is, it's a serious charge, and you should get an attorney who regularly practices... View More

The conviction will stay on your driving record and your criminal history record for the rest of your life. The points will stay on your driving record for two years with the Secretary of State, but the insurance company will rate you higher for three years. The legal significance of the... View More

The rights I assume you refer to are the Miranda Warnings. Those do not apply for two reasons: You were not in custody, and a speeding ticket is not a criminal charge, it is a Civil Infraction. If the area had a 70 MPH speed limit, then that is a significant issue, because that makes a... View More

Sounds like you're going to get a ticket for leaving the scene of a property damage accident. That's a criminal misdemeanor, that carries up to ninety days in jail. Find an attorney in your area who practices primarily traffic and drunk driving defense. Although this presumably... View More

If you only have one previous conviction for a drinking and driving offense, and it is over seven years before the new one, then it is not a Second Offense for charging purposes. The older one can still be considered by the court in setting bond conditions, and in sentencing if you get convicted... View More

You got a big break. Pay the ticket for double parking and be happy you won't be getting points. In fact, nothing at all will go on your driving record, so long as you pay the ticket on time. If you contest it, they will probably amend the ticket to charge you with the speeding charge, so... View More

Contact the court within the time period stated on the ticket. Tell them you want to have an Informal Hearing, or Pre-trial, depending on how the ticket is written. The ticket should be marked as to if it is a Civil Infraction (CI) or Misdemeanor (Misd). There should be instructions for... View More

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. If it is a civil infraction, then it is certainly in default, and you just need to pay it. If it is a misdemeanor, then you will have to appear at court, in which case you will be much better off if you hire an attorney to help you. Is... View More

No, they are not. But a police officer can watch people walk out of a bar, for example, and stop them for some, often, very picky reasons, like not stopping, completely, at the street as they pull out of the driveway.

This kind of errors are called scrivener errors, and they are usually not of much help in fighting a ticket. They might be useful as a bargaining point in a negotiation for a reduction in the charge. Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

I'm not quite sure what your question is, but I can tell you that if you receive a conviction for a drinking and driving offense, you will lose your CDL for a year. Your best route is to get an attorney who handles OWI charges as the main part of their practice, and let the attorney see what... View More

Once a drinking and driving conviction goes on your driving record, it stays there permanently. They never get so old that they drop off. They used to, but not anymore.
