Q: Can the state go back to 2003 on a DUI case?
In 2003 I was arrested for DUI. Now (2022) the 15th District Judicial Court has notified me that I need to complete driving courses and 32 hours of community service. I completed the driving course and community service back in 2003. The court is now saying that they don't have any records of completion. I couldn't have gotten my driver's license reinstated without having completed the courses. But I didn't keep the forms from almost 20 years ago. Can they do this to me? Please help, thank you
A: If you had an attorney representing you at that time, then please speak to him and hopefully this can get straightened out without taking too much time. If you did not have an attorney, then perhaps please consult with a criminal defense attorney about representing you in your current situation and getting to the issue/dispute here. Good luck.
