Philadelphia, PA asked in DUI / DWI for Florida

Q: I caught a dui in Florida at the end f 2012. I then got arrested in Pennsylvania where I live now. How can I settle it

I had got arrested in Pennsylvania shortly after my dui. After about 15 months I made parole in pa and fled back to Florida where I was arrested again for fleeing pa while in parole.and was able to handle the dui case from the years before and they gave me the classes and probation. I had to finish my sentence in Pennsylvania and I was never able to complete my dui stuff in Florida because I was incarcerated. Now I still live in Pennsylvania but I have no license and I want to fix the dui in Florida. How should I go about it if I don't even live in Florida anymore

A: You will need to contact the clerk of the court where the case arose and see what court obligations remain. You might have a probation violation or warrant pending, too. You also have driver license issues , so you need to call FL DHSMV in Talahassee.

You should strongly consider hiring a lawyer to guide you.
