Q: If I already signed a plea agreement restricting my license for 12 months can I change it to 6 months
I was charged with a dui my first offense and instead of doing the six months restricted I choose the 12 months with interlock but now I’m seeing I can’t afford to have an interlock for 12 months that the 6 months is more ideal is there anyway I can go back and change it?
A: You would need to file a motion to reopen if still in the appropriate timeframe to do so and ask the court to change the order. The problem is the DMV and ASAP will most likely restart the clock. You should contact your original attorney.
