The letter will typically indicate the type of case. For example, T may be for traffic citations, D could be used for all other misdemeanor cases, B could be for felony cases, A could be for Divorce cases etc.

No one asks who hired the lawyer. Either the person has one or, if jail is a possibility, one is appointed. If you want to object I suppose you can go to court and do so, but I would think you should talk to your kid's lawyer first.
In 2015 SC charged me $600+ to reinstate my CA license and complete a program. I did them both. There is still a hold. Whats up.

Your situation with the South Carolina hold from 1991 affecting your California license in 2024 is frustrating but not uncommon. Interstate holds can remain active for decades if not properly cleared through all required channels.

It's hard to know your status right now. Meaning that I do not know if you are on probation right now or if you are concerned with a new charge.
If you are on probation, and need to detox, or other kind of help, your lawyer can make a motion to alter or change the details of your... View More

It depends upon many factors such as what your criminal history is like and what the facts of the case now are. Regardless, you should consult with experienced criminal defense counsel asap.
Are all 3 points of argument criteria and requirements? Or is only one point of argument to be chosen and focused upon? And then how far do I go into detail in solidifying my argument? I mean if the entire arrest was unlawful and the officer literally did everything imaginable wrong as far as... View More

Although local practices can vary, in general, the petition itself is just a check the box exercise. Then you file a supporting legal memorandum as a separate document. In your case, it also sounds like you should also be filing a motion to suppress.
To be honest with you, the chances... View More

I recently found out from the police that I have a $5,000 warrant and need to resolve it at Glendale Court. Here's what happened:

Most likely you have already dealt with this so my giving my two cents probably does not make a difference. Most of what you stated would be reasons to recall the warrant and get the case going. It really does not go to whether you can dismiss the case but when you go in or already did go in, the... View More
Will the Prosecutor use this against her? Her prior conviction was 10 years ago
answered on Nov 30, 2024
I am a former prosecutor. Yes, she or he will use the previous conviction and sentence against her. You should hire an attorney experienced in DUI litigation as soon as possible because there are also potential DMV consequences.
I have completed all my court related requirements.

I doubt you can accomplish this. However, you should consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to explore your remedies under California law. It is important you mention to the lawyer what your goal is.

Your lawyer should write a letter to the judge and ask him/her to order probation to return your license. You may also be able to clear your license with the DMV and simply get a new license from them if your statutory revocation period has ended and you are no longer on probation supervision.

Your attorney will gather all of the evidence intended to be used against you; Police reports, victim/witness statements, body cam videos, bar videos, and any other evidence the government intends to use against you. Then, you'll know if you have triable or suppression issues to pursue.
