My friend was in a car accident. They are charging him with a DUI. He hit 4 vehicles and one person was injured. His alcohol level was low. What may be the outcome of his case? Will he do jail time?
answered on Sep 21, 2016
You are asking multiple questions, but all of them are fact sensitive, and can only be answered by an attorney familiar with the specific case. Besides that, judges have great latitude in setting, or reducing, bond. Important considerations will include whether your friend is a flight risk.

The charges may be different, due to the source of your intoxication, but either way, if you drive while intoxicated, you are subject to prosecution.

No way to answer this without the specifics of the case. You'll get arrested and may have to spend some time in jail, but there's no way to know what your ultimate sentence will be without knowing what happened in the case.

Your first step is to find an attorney who handles DUI cases in the county where you are charged. District Attorneys from county to county have their own policies as to how they treat DUI cases. Likewise, judges from county to county can treat the same facts very differently. This is called the... View More

If CA says your license is still valid, and if the IL SOS says your previous license is valid, then get a duplicate CA license.

Zero. The cops will arrest you if you are stopped and fail a sobriety test. They are not going to let you drive off if you're intoxicated.
answered on Sep 11, 2016
That depends on what state issued your license, whether the California court is ordering a suspension, and whether the issuing state is recognizing a California suspension.

Yes. It's tougher for them to prove, but they can do it.Certainly a blood test will see them charge.If you've been charged, get an attorney who handles DUI cases in the court where the citation was issued.
Is there any way he can start driving before the end of the suspension date?
answered on Sep 18, 2016
If his license is suspended, he can't drive legally. He should talk to his lawyer about getting the suspension lifted.
There was no damage or such. Thanks

Yes, it's on the order of days, though, (e.g. 30 days), so if more than that has passed, your brother may have missed his window.

He should hire a lawyer. If he can't afford to hire a lawyer, he needs to ask the court to appoint one. Driving on a suspended license can earn you some jail time as well as probation, and it can also be very expensive. Additionally, when the license is suspended based on a prior DUI, the... View More

I'd go with the lawyer's suggestion, especially if his blood alcohol was significantly above the limit--he has no insurance, he's driving intoxicated, go for it. Collecting may be tough but sounds like you have a handle on it.

Most likely it will wind up just being against your husband's estate.
He is currently serving 15 years in Huntsville, TX. prison and on year 13 and they took him and added 4 more years for this felony. What about the statute of limitations?
answered on Apr 21, 2016
The statute of limitation stops running at the time bench warrant is issued. If the court did not issue the bench warrant until 2007, the court would lose its jurisdiction over the case and you would have a good argument about the statute of limitation. Check when the case was filed and if it is... View More
