A:
If your husband received a DUI in Colorado in 2016 and never appeared in court, he should immediately consult a California attorney with experience in DUI and interstate legal matters to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. Failing to appear in court can result in serious legal consequences, including warrants for his arrest, and it is crucial to address the issue promptly. An attorney can advise him on how to resolve the outstanding matter and navigate the legal process effectively.
