Did you blow a 0.09 on the PAS device? (Preliminary Alcohol Screening). Why were you pulled over?

It is definitely worth contacting an attorney and speaking with them over... View More

The date the plea was entered into, the latest date, but it is an argument to make, either case you have 3 other DUI's within 10 years - you will need a lot of help to negotiate this or fight the case since the consequences are high for you.

A lot of time it depends on how recent the DUI was. As noted, many states have mandatory jail time for a second offense but it usually has to be recent. In Virginia, there is mandatory jail for a second offense within ten years. So if it was beyond ten years then there is no mandatory jail in... View More

Your results will vary depending on who your insurance company is and the DMV outcome. If you get a "wet" reckless in court but lose the DMV hearing you will still be required to file an SR-22 which will trigger additional consequences with your insurance company. You should discuss... View More

you should contact lawyer in LA not Palm Springs.

you should have a lawyer for the DUI and if you can't afford one the court will appoint one.........that lawyer will have all the facts..................

however, i would think what they are asking is realistic.

If you are indigent, the court will appoint a public defender to represent you. Otherwise, you need to pay an attorney to clean this up.

It's hard to answer your question because you really aren't asking a question. If you were arrested for DUI then you should consult a lawyer as quickly as possible since you have rights that will "expire" within 10 days of your arrest. Despite the fact that your license is... View More

I'm not sure what you are asking but if you are questioning the legitimacy of the DMV procedures because the hearing officer is both the prosecutor and the fact finder, that has been litigated and upheld. You should ask your lawyer what appellate steps can be taken following an adverse DMV... View More

You can be picked up, "stopped" anywhere in the US, the airport included. You will also have to "clear" customs if you return from an international trip. The clearance process will likely show the arrest warrants, what happens at that point is up to the authorities at the... View More

The prosecution will likely offer him a reduced charge. However, I would strongly recommend hiring an attorney to evaluate his case. There could be a chance depending on the facts of the case to have the charges dismissed altogether.

Good afternoon. For the two that are on probation, if it is formal probation with a probation officer one of the terms is that you report police contact. If it were to come up later and you had not reported it, then it could be a problem. If it is informal probation there is no need to do anything.

however, if this is isolated and you have a good excuse for why you did not do something, then you should not be locked up..........but you could be.
